Boom Partners with Fireblocks to Enable Thousands of Institutions & Businesses to Off-ramp Digital Assets into Goods, Services and 67 Fiat Currencies.
Boom, the e-commerce without banking ecosystem, has signed a blockchain integration partnership with digital asset management firm Fireblocks to integrate the Boom blockchain ('Boomchain') into Fireblocks making Boomcoin (BMC) and all the digital assets and tokens on Boomchain, instantly available to trade on all major exchanges, liquidity providers, banks, and hedge funds, already connected to the Fireblocks Network. These include BNY Mellon, ABN-AMRO, Worldpay, Revolut and many more.
The partnership also means that Fireblocks PSPs (Worldpay, checkout.com, etc.) can integrate Boom Pay, the online payment gateway that enables merchants to collect payments from 1.7 billion unbanked consumers.
Speaking about the partnership, Boom Founder and CEO Peter Alfred-Adekeye said that “Integrating the Boom blockchain into Fireblocks makes BMC readily accessible to thousands of exchanges, custodians, banks, traders, and hedge funds, while also providing our liquidity partners, merchants, corporates, and businesses with a highly secure way to store, move, and manage BMC and other ecosystem digital assets.' Peter added ’The best part of this integration is that it enables the thousands of Fireblocks connected businesses to off-ramp their digital assets into goods, services, and 67 fiat currencies through Boom.'
