From Blockchain.com:

“Blockchain is the world’s leading software platform for digital assets. Offering the largest production blockchain platform in the world, we are using new technology to build a radically better financial system. Our software has powered over 100M transactions and empowered users in 140 countries across the globe to transact quickly and without costly intermediaries. We also offer tools for developers and real time transaction data for users to analyze the burgeoning digital economy.”

“Blockchain has created a bitcoin wallet which is essentially a piece of software to store the digital currency and carry out transactions with other users.” Arjun Kharpal, CNBC

Blockchain was founded in 2011 and now has users in 140 countries. Its last funding round came in 2014 when it raised $30.5 million. Other investors in its latest round include Nokota Management, Digital Currency Group and existing investors Lightspeed Venture Partners, Mosaic Venture Partners, Prudence Holdings, Virgin, and Richard Branson.

  • The digital asset, bitcoin, is used like other assets in exchange for goods and services. Unlike traditional currencies and assets, bitcoin is easily portable, divisible, and irreversible.
  • Bitcoin increases system efficiency and enables the provision of financial services at a drastically lower cost, giving users more power and freedom.
  • Keeping your bitcoin safe in a non-custodial wallet (like Blockchain’s) means there is no entity that can lock you out of your funds
  • It’s globally inclusive — bitcoin is enabling millions across the globe to transact, save, and hedge their way to a better financial future
