In a move that could potentially legitimize cryptocurrencies even further Goldman Sachs backed payments company Circle has acquired US crypto exchange Poloniex. The acquisition aims to extend the firm’s commitment to a new vision for global finance and cement its position as one of the leading companies in the blockchain industry.
According to Reuters the Boston based company already operates its app-based peer-to-peer payment network using blockchain. It has been one of the most well-funded blockchain startups, and its investors include Goldman Sachs Group and Chinese search giant Baidu Inc.
Circle to Expand into a Crypto Future
In a company blog post today Circle founders Sean Neville and Jeremy Allaire stated; “We’re proud to announce that Circle has extended its commitment to a new vision for global finance by acquiring Poloniex, a leading token exchange platform,”
The Circle Trade desk already handles over $2 billion a month in cryptocurrency transactions with a minimum deal size of $250,000 according to Fortune. Their clients include early investors who have seen huge gains in their digital assets, crypto mining operations, and crypto based business ventures, such as other exchanges, hedge funds, and ICO projects.
The company has a raft of other products including Circle Pay app which enables easy payments via text messages, and a soon to be launched Circle Invest app facilitating small and steady crypto investments. Interoperable digital wallets are also available with the Centre Protocol so there is no shortage of viable products to marry up with an established crypto exchange.
