This integration, hosted on Conio’s platform, offers streamlined access to the entire crypto ecosystem for its 430,000+ customers in Italy. Users can now seamlessly link their Bitcoin wallets with prominent digital asset exchange platforms.

The collaboration leverages Mesh's capabilities to directly connect Conio's app with ten major platforms, including Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken, with more to follow in the coming weeks. This integration aims to simplify account management across multiple platforms within the Conio App, setting a precedent for Open Banking in the Bitcoin and digital assets sphere.

Key objectives of the project include enhancing the Bitcoin transfer process by eliminating common friction points such as QR code usage and complex address handling. This approach aims to mitigate risks associated with incorrect transfers and enhance user security through Conio's robust custody solutions, utilizing a three-private-keys system.

“This collaboration with Mesh is a crucial step towards consolidating an integrated ecosystem that simplifies the use of secure custody solutions like Conio’s. We are excited to offer our users a unique platform for managing their assets, combining security, simplicity, and direct access to leading exchange platforms,” said Christian Miccoli, CEO and founder of Conio.

“Open banking is Europe’s next major catalyst for digital asset adoption, and with our partnership with Conio, we are deploying the infrastructure to make safe and seamless aggregation and crypto transfers possible for hundreds of thousands of users in the region," explained Bam Azizi, Founder and CEO of Mesh.
