I think crypto and blockchain started as tech solutions to solve trust issues in finance. However, at this moment, trusting counterparties and your dealings and transactions with them is still one of the biggest challenges in this industry.
Hi, my name is Michael Wu. I'm the founder and the CEO of Amber Group. Amber Group is an integrated crypto finance platform. We help our clients buy and sell cryptocurrencies, and we help them with innovative crypto financial products. We are a company of about three years old with about a hundred thirty people in six different cities across the globe. We put the security of our clients and our own assets first above everything. Therefore, we had to involve lots of tedious and less efficient procedures before we adopted Fireblocks.
A lot of approvals have to be done, in less efficient ways by multiple people to ensure security first.
For us, we deal with a lot of trades, a lot of transactions everyday. By using Fireblocks we can combine the security and efficiency in dealing with these transactions which definitively help us to expand our businesses.
We trust Fireblocks because it gives you this procedure to control these operational risks and to eliminate those operational errors.
In general, if someone's using Fireblocks, it makes us feel they are more sophisticated in dealing with their security and the risks, and therefore, is a more comfortable counterparty.
