one of the leading crypto exchanges, has become the first client for Tap Global and its newest Cards-as-a-Service (CaaS) platform. With the latest B2B product,
companies can offer their clients prepaid debit cards to enhance their offerings.</p><p>Tap Global Partners with
Bitfinex</p><p>According
to Tuesday's press release, Tap Global is a publicly listed (AQSE:TAP) provider
of a crypto app connecting the world of <a href="https://www.financemagnates.com/terms/b/blockchain/" class="terms__main-term" id="be18ed01-45fc-4044-b447-06802a10dbcd" target="_blank">blockchain</a> technology and traditional
finance. The CaaS platform, based on a partnership with Mastercard, is the
company's latest product, and Bitfinex customers will be the first to take
advantage of its capabilities.</p><p>"We
are excited to add this B2B Product to Tap's offering and look forward to
supporting innovative businesses such as Bitfinex in providing their clients
with financial flexibility to seamlessly convert and spend cryptocurrency
assets without hindrance from the traditional banking system," David Carr, the Chief Executive Officer of Tap, said.</p><p>As a first
step, the card will be available to European Bitfinex customers. Using Tap's infrastructure and regulatory approvals, the customers will be able to
exchange cryptocurrencies for euros and transfer them to the prepaid card.</p><p>The product
will carry the Bitinex branding, but Tap provides all related services. The
company will also charge monthly fees associated with using the card.</p><p>"Tap
is not a simple 'buy crypto' app, focused solely on individual users. It is our
ambition to be one of the world's leading FinTech companies, and this product is
an example of our significant and growing business-focused offering," Carr
added.</p><p>Bitfinex Starts a New

During this time, it had to deal with a high-profile hacking attack back in 2016. The funds still remain for the most part unrecovered. However, by February 2022, the enforcement bodies <a href="https://www.financemagnates.com/cryptocurrency/36b-btc-seizure-from-bitfinex-hack-good-or-bad-for-the-industry/" target="_blank" rel="follow">successfully recovered
$3.6 billion of the stolen funds.</a></p><p>Despite such
a severe security breach, the exchange has managed to maintain consumer
confidence and stay true to its values. According to the exchange's
representatives, these are the main reasons why Bitfinex is still one of the
most popular cryptocurrency platforms in the world.</p><p>"In
our industry, Bitfinex is one of the oldest companies and one of the largest by
exchange-traded volume, but we are also one of the smallest by headcount, and
we have a very strong culture underpinned by our values," <a href="https://www.financemagnates.com/cryptocurrency/bitfinex-defends-crypto-depsite-industrys-multiple-crises-in-2022/" target="_blank" rel="follow">the company said</a>.</p>
