The strike spread to Europe in April
The collaboration with Bitstamp follows Strike’s expansion into Europe. In April, the company announced its entry into the European market after a similar move into Africa.
Available to eligible customers, the extension allows users across the EU to send, buy, sell, and withdraw BTC. Users can withdraw Bitcoin to their personal wallets or send it to any Lightning wallet. The launch also introduced P2P transactions for Strike Europe users.
Bitstamp’s partnership with the US-based Bitcoin payments company comes after Robinhood announced its $200 million acquisition of the Europe-based crypto exchange in June.
The cryptocurrency exchange also has announcement a partnership with Web3 financial platform Kryptos to simplify cryptocurrency taxes for users in 15 countries, including the UK, Portugal and Australia.
