Problem
Retail investors and small businesses often need to manage cryptocurrency trading, earn yields on digital assets, and execute cross‑border payments, but they must use separate platforms that are fragmented, costly, and lack unified reporting. Additionally, access to global equities and ETFs is typically unavailable within crypto‑focused apps, limiting portfolio diversification.
Solution
Bitso provides a single mobile application that consolidates crypto trading, weekly earnings on held assets, and international money transfers. Users can buy, sell, and hold more than 100 digital assets—including major cryptocurrencies and stablecoins—and receive interest payments deposited every Monday without any lock‑up periods. The platform routes cross‑border payments through a fast, low‑cost network that delivers funds directly to recipients’ local accounts. An upcoming expansion will add access to over 5,000 global stocks and ETFs, allowing users to build mixed crypto‑equity portfolios in one place. For professional traders, Bitso Alpha offers advanced order types and charting tools, while Bitso Business supplies API‑driven payment solutions for enterprises.
Target Audience
The primary customers are retail investors seeking a unified crypto and future equity investing experience, and small‑to‑medium enterprises that require efficient, low‑cost cross‑border payment capabilities.
