Silvergate Joins Hands with CryptoCom
Silvergate has emerged as a major crypto-focused bank that gained significant popularity for supporting the rollout of El Salvador’s crypto wallet Chivo.
The latest development comes a week after Silvergate announced a partnership with the digital asset exchange CryptoCom. The main objective behind the move was to introduce USD deposits and withdrawals to the bank’s institutional consumer base. This new feature would enable CryptoCom’s institutional clients to transfer USD funds from their bank accounts to the exchange and vice versa, free of cost.
Besides, Silvergate announced joining forces with Facebook’s digital currency project, the Diem Association, to release a stablecoin pegged to the USD in May this year.
