Thank you from Abra

In this brief video, Abra founder and CEO Bill Barhydt talks about the company’s recent progress and shares some upcoming news.

In the past few months, Abra has launched native support of bitcoin cash, added new coins as synthetic currencies, and opened up new ways of depositing money to Abra wallets from more parts of the world.

We have also created an extremely popular referral program, where Abra users and their friends each get $25 in bitcoin once a new wallet is created and funded.

But Abra’s biggest recent news was the October launch of the Bitwise Crypto Index, or the BIT10. Now, investing in the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap is super easy and readily accessible. The best part is that the BIT10 is rebalanced monthly.

The market is down, creating more opportunities

Despite the recent market downturn, Abra is busy building more functionality and looking toward the future.

After all, we believe that cryptoassets are a powerful technology that will enable future financial innovation. So, in that spirit, the company is hard at work creating new ways to get crypto into the hands of more people across the planet.

Stay tuned. There will be a lot of interesting news coming out of Abra over the next few months.

Thank you

The video ends with a few words of gratitude for Abra users.

“I wanted to thank everyone for your support,” Barhydt said. “We’ve become one of the most popular apps, wallets, and investment tools in the entire cryptocurrency industry and it’s because of you.”

“We are incredibly grateful and promise to keep working hard to make Abra the best crypto app out there.”
