Blockchain has been gaining popularity by the day. What started with a blockchain-based crypto asset like Bitcoin (BTC) is now a space with elements like NFTs, DeFi, and Web3.

Celebrities like Madonna and Paris Hilton are launching NFTs or non-fungible tokens. DeFi or Decentralized Finance is said to be competing against the traditional ‘centralized’ financial landscape. It has features like lending and borrowing of digital assets, collateralized loans, and passive income in the form of interest. Web3 or Web 3.0, as popularly referred to, is said to be the internet version that can shift the balance of power toward users.

Blockchain is making inroads in every sphere -- financial, social, and more -- like no other tech today. What’s more? S&P Dow Jones, the company that manages the S&P 500 Index, now has indices to track the price of BTC. Not just that, companies like Tesla and MicroStrategy are also investing in BTC, that too in billions. Sovereigns are also warming up to cryptos. Recently, Ukraine allowed donations in crypto assets in the wake of the geopolitical conflict.

Where does the SpendTheBits app fit in this scheme of things? And what does the team at SpendTheBits bring to the table?

SpendTheBits cryptocurrency app

Having realized that crypto assets are finding increased acceptance, SpendTheBits entered the scene to make it more secure for stakeholders.

The app uses XRP Ledger, built for real-time “Payments.” XRP Ledger allows SpendTheBits to facilitate quick transfers of crypto assets. The app is claiming to take its deposits and withdrawal features further, creating a robust crypto-asset ecosystem. Here, users can store their assets safely, besides using them for spending purposes. XRP Ledger also helps in bringing down transaction costs, the app asserts.

BTC funds reflect in the user’s wallet instantly after the first confirmation on the blockchain, SpendTheBits claims. For now, the company is focusing on BTC, but it is eyeing more assets in upcoming app versions. The future road map includes a Merchant Portal rollout so our users can pay for goods and services using the App.
