They recently announced that owners of Skrill wallet can instantly buy and sell cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ether and Litecoin, using one of 40 fiat currencies available.
Skrill is an English company that offers money transfer services and online micropayments.
In order to use the service, just log in on the website and select the exchange function: at that point you can start buying and selling cryptocurrencies.
These will be kept by the service itself, as with any other exchange.
Skrill bases this service on a collaboration with a “recognized cryptocurrency exchange”.
However, once purchased, tokens cannot be transferred yet, so the service today is basically dedicated only to those who want to trade. However, the company says that in the future it will also add the functionality of sending tokens to other Skrill customers and crypto payments.
Lorenzo Pellegrino, CEO of Skrill, said: “The world of cryptocurrency trading is exciting and dynamic, and our digital wallet service very much lends itself to this environment.
I’m confident that the ability to trade in cryptocurrencies quickly and easily through Skrill will appeal to consumers both now and in the future.
We know many people want to experiment with cryptocurrency trading but don’t know where to start and we’ve made the entire process very straightforward.”
The new feature is already available in more than 30 countries and should be extended to other countries in the future, in addition to the NETELLER mobile app and wallet.
