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.'

Whether it’s ordering a pizza or booking your next holiday, all online payments require a bank account—yet over 2 billion adults worldwide remain unbanked, limiting their participation in the digital economy. They rely solely on cash, which cannot be spent online.

Boom Technologies Ltd (“Boom”) bridges this gap by digitising cash and connecting it to the global digital economy, empowering everyone to securely spend, accept, and save cash online—without ever needing a bank, while maintaining robust compliance with AML/KYC regulations. Each transaction is traceable, verified, and compliant with local and international financial regulations.

Digital assets are generally subject to high volatility, regulatory uncertainty, and operational risk. Users should conduct their own due diligence and may wish to seek independent financial advice before engaging in any digital asset activity.

Tokenised Cash on Boom — including the tokenised GBP (bGBP) — should not experience volatility because they are backed 1:1 by GBP-denominated reserves held in-country for the benefit of bGBP holders. These reserves are managed in a Boom Reserve Fund, custodied by regulated financial institutions, and may consist of short-term Government bonds, gold, Bitcoin, and cash.

Boom Technologies Ltd, registered in England & Wales (Company No. 15034868), is not a bank, does not operate as one, and does not intend to become one. Boom is not authorised or regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
