TAP Secures Investment from Alphabit and FBG Capital

AlphaBit, one of the first regulated crypto funds, is the biggest in the middle east whilst FBG Capital was described by Forbes as Asia’s hottest crypto fund.

TAP aims to be a one stop shop for anyone involved, or looking to be involved, in crypto currencies. With the easiest fiat onboarding process, multiple exchanges linked by one app (with only 1 KYC process), a powerful “middleware” engine adding convenience never seen in the crypto sector and a payment card attached, TAP will facilitate the next adoption wave of crypto whilst making the lives of current crypto holders much easier.

There are many ways in which TAP will add convenience to the sector, for example, TAP will eliminate the need to move funds from one exchange to another to complete an alt to alt trade. TAP will allow a fiat pairing with any supported currency, cutting out the normal fiat to BTC/ETH step before buying the alt. TAP users can also select any supported currency to be instantly sold to fiat to fund card purchases.

Liam Robertson, CEO of AlphaBit, said:

“We are thrilled to be lead investor in TAP. This is a really important project for the sector as there haven’t been any major leaps forward in making crypto both more accessible to new investors or more convenient to current adopters until now. In addition, the strength and experience of the team behind the project will really drive the technology to benefit the entire crypto community. The fact that the project is close to completion is also a major bonus as an investor”

TAP has released its third alpha version of the app, including integration with Kraken and Binance, and expects to release the beta soon.

Large Tokyo Bitcoin Meetup Turnout Includes Jihan Wu, Core Supporters

Wednesday saw the largest Tokyo Bitcoin meetup “in years” take place at the Pink Cow in the Japanese capital’s Minato district.


‘No Arguments’ Despite Core, Unlimited Presence

Featuring appearances from Roger Ver, Jihan Wu and others, the meetup, organized by Chinese platform Bitkan, focused only lightly on the current bitcoin scaling problem, with speakers presenting a range of opinions on the current and future state of bitcoin.

Ver himself spoke on “the importance of bitcoin’s economic code,” while Wu’s presentation titled “What does Satoshi said About scaling bitcoin? [sic]” was focused on the global bitcoin ecosystem.

Other speakers included Bitkan MD Ruby Chen, Local exchange BTCBOX whose CEO David Zhang focused on bitcoin business development, as well as journalist Jon Southurst, who presented on bitcoin trading and business. 

“Overall the atmosphere was pretty cordial. There were some big bitcoin heavy-hitters there like Roger Ver, Jihan Wu, Chandler Guo, plus a number of devs and project managers representing both sides of the BU/Core debate,” Southurst told Bitcoinist. “We were expecting some arguments but there weren’t any big ones.”

Focus on Eastern Promise

Host Bitkan was particularly buoyant on the future of Bitcoin in Japan as nearly one hundred people attended the event. Bitkan’s Operations Director Sandy Liang noted that the market would be of particular interest in terms of traders in the near term.

“During the event, we met many Japanese companies,” she subsequently commented to Bitcoinist.

The whole market is growing rapidly. bitcoin is becoming more and more popular in Japan. We are also aware that there will be a cryptocurrency Law in April to regulate the whole Japanese bitcoin market.

While Bitkan maintains a neutral stance on scaling, the mood in the air regarding the current stalemate in bitcoin regarding how to proceed was palpable at the meetup.

This nonetheless contrasted with the considerably more upfront rhetoric witnessed from some attendees and others online over the past months.

Ver has been especially vocal on the part of bitcoin Unlimited, stating in an interview with Mad Bitcoins at the weekend he would sell his entire BTC holdings in return for BTU in future.

He also appeared to accept an offer from bitcoin ‘whale’ Loaded this week, who offered a BTC-BTU trade agreement worth “up to” 130,000 bitcoins.

“This sounds like a great deal for both of us,” he replied.  “I look forward to ironing out the exact details and terms.  I’m super busy for the next 48 hours,  but would love to connect after that.”

The final decision is thus due following culmination of the Tokyo meetup.
