ShapeShift, a leading non-custodial crypto exchange platform, has announced support for Portis, the self-custodian multi-blockchain wallet. Users are now able to create a web-based wallet in the ShapeShift crypto trading platform in seconds, in addition to its current hardware wallet support.
“ShapeShift is committed to a borderless, decentralized financial future, and integrating this new wallet means that we can make our vision more accessible. With Portis, we can offer ShapeShift without hardware for the first time, providing the best way to easily hold, trade and track your crypto, all without giving up your control to a third party.”
– ShapeShift Founder and CEO, Erik Voorhees
Portis Integration
With the new integration, users can set up a wallet that integrates directly with ShapeShift’s crypto trading platform using only an email and password. Users gain access to sophisticated end-to-end encryption architecture, which allows them to maintain complete control over their private crypto keys. Users can hold many digital assets including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and dozens of others.
“We’re thrilled about this integration. ShapeShift was very early to recognize the need for a smooth user experience in order to make crypto accessible to the masses. ShapeShift’s vision matches ours perfectly and we have exciting plans that will let us make the jump to the next level of mainstream user adoption.”
– Portis Co-Founder and CEO Tom Teman
Users can experience the new wallet and integration at ShapeShift.com. The recently upgraded platform also now utilizes both web-based and hardware wallets including KeepKey and Trezor.
