The latest feature of Fold turns the program into a virtual bank for Bitcoiners, an idea that was partially conceived by Fold’s newest team member, Brian Harrington.
Fold has recently implemented its Direct to Bitcoin feature as part of its Bitcoin Checking Account, a collection of features. Anyone with a Fold account may now use their bank account to automatically convert 1% to 100% of their currency deposits to bitcoin.
Users will find it much easier to live on a bitcoin standard with the debut of this new function, which is the first of several planned for the coming months by the firm.
Fold CEO Will Reeves said to Bitcoin Magazine that “Direct to Bitcoin is an automatic approach to balance between dollars and bitcoin for any payments coming in,” and that this forms the foundation of their services.
Fold is entering a new phase where Reeves and his team want to simplify Bitcoin as a medium of exchange. Users will be able to simply convert their Bitcoin holdings to US dollars for payments and accumulate them via the app.
Fold has brought on Ecosystem Lead Brian Harrington, whose primary responsibility has been to launch Bitcoin Checking Account features, to assist Ring in this new age.
Harrington is famous for his work at Choice App, where he oversaw the promotion of the first Bitcoin IRA account in 2020, which altered public opinion around the prospect of storing bitcoin in an IRA. Numerous businesses now provide individual retirement accounts that allow investors to use bitcoin.
It would seem like Harrington is getting a thrill out of promoting Fold’s Bitcoin Checking Account. His personal frustrations led him to the notion of creating an app where users could easily convert their bitcoin to US dollars and then spend those dollars.
