Zero Hash brings the deep domain expertise of powering crypto products for some of the major consumer fintech platforms worldwide.

“The latest data shows that 75% of retail investors between the ages of 21 and 42 look to the crypto sector for the greatest investment opportunities, and nearly half already own cryptocurrency holdings. Against this backdrop, we are pleased to partner with Current on their first crypto product,” said Edward Woodford, CEO of Zero Hash. “We see the most agile fintechs now offering crypto to meet consumer demand and ensure their users remain sticky.
