“With an app, you can not only share pictures and emojis with friends, but also move money,” Neville said at a product presentation. “Your friends can receive dollars directly in the US, if you move pounds to them in the UK.” With the support of blockchains, CIRCLE offers users low-cost currency exchange and cross-border remittance, which at present supports exchange among dollars, pounds and Bitcoins.
