By combining Copper.co’s globally recognized institutional-grade cryptoasset custody solution with Lynx’s expanding regional local payment and financial infrastructure network, we can ensure easy access to financial services for all our customers,” said Michael Penner, Chief Executive Officer, Lynx Global Finance.
