BREAKING: Bitpay & CoPay Wallet Just Implemented Bitcoin to Bitcoin Cash Exchanges via ShapeShift API

in #crypto-news6 years ago


ShapeShift has just announced their newest partnership!

-- Bitpay, the first and most experienced company in bitcoin payments, has integrated with the free, open-source ShapeShift API to provide users of their Bitpay and Copay wallet the ability to exchange between Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH).

Prior to the ShapeShift integration, Bitpay and Copay Wallet customers could only hold Bitcoin.


I have written about ShapeShift many many times here, even recently again last week giving an overview to new Crypto folks.

Now ShapeShift's popular service for exchanging, or "shifting" between cryptocurrencies is available in the BitPay and Copay wallets by default. Copay customers will now be able to exchange Bitcoin Cash for Bitcoin or Bitcoin for Bitcoin Cash wherever and whenever they would like.

Prefer to hodl just one currency? Want to balance your holdings in both? No problem. Customers needing more Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash for a payment can quickly trade for the currency type needed.



Stephen Pair, Bitpay CEO said,

"ShapeShift has built a powerful service for blockchain payments users. We're excited to be working with them to give more choice to BitPay and Copay wallet users in how they save, store, and spend their money."

Bitcoin Cash is getting serious traction now. I think the LN is interesting, but I'm not sure how many people will be willing to lock up funds in these payment channels, or if there will be enough hubs to route payments globally.

LN will take time to establish itself on the mainnet, and there are already other cryptos like LTC that are being used for day-to-day need due to speed of confirmations and lower fees.

You always make good comments, I have noticed.

Thanks for that.

UV!!

excelent vlog, gogogogogo

If Copay customers will be able to exchange bitcoin cash for bitcoin whenever and wherever they would like,then this is good news

More choice is better!

thanks for sharing....

This is very exciting news as I have a Bitpay account. Thank You for sharing! I resteemed this to let others know. Have a great day!

Thanks!!

Good stuff sharing and you are welcome!

Now if bitpay would just fix their friggin' fees! lol

Ahhh yes, the fee structure of the Crypto Life brother.

LOL

TY for stopping by so much lately my artsy friend.

You know it! For some reason Bitpay's fees are just so much higher than anywhere else.

You bet, man! I haven't been a very good commenter or curator for many months now, so I think it is time to step up my game!
