Bitcoin’s youngest millionaire Erik Finman launches crypto-based ‘Libra Killer’

Finman invested an unspecified amount in the payment app Metal Pay. According to startup CEO Marshall Hayner, he, together with Finman, plans to create the first all-in-one platform for cryptocurrency banking. The platform will include a cryptocurrency exchange with access to 17 assets, a digital bank and a payment application with social functions.

Let us note that Metal Pay was launched last September and processed payments of $11 million. The number of users exceeded 130,000 people, and the app is available in 38 US states. The monthly volume of transfers is about $1 million (cryptocurrencies and fiat money).

“I changed my point of view on cryptocurrencies a bit when I discovered that the Bitcoin community is very fragmented and its use in real life is minimal,” Finman said.

The startup has entered into a partnership with the bank and the trust company Evolve. It will allow the company to offer customers deposit accounts insured by the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). With the development of the platform, Evolve will help Metal Pay create new financial instruments and services.
