Abra just released a string of announcements. The popular cryptocurrency wallet has added support for Cardano (ADA), Tron (TRX) and Basic Attention Token (BAT), and plans to allow users to fund Abra wallets using Bitcoin Cash (BCH) in the coming days.

The app will also enable customers to make transfers from European bank accounts directly to Abra wallets.

The new functionality effectively allows every user in Europe to fund an Abra wallet using a European bank account. A European bank account customer can then buy any of the 28 cryptocurrencies supported on Abra.

The Abra app interface allows users to check prices, track portfolios and exchange cryptos for other cryptos through Bitcoin. Users can also buy any of the 50 fiat currencies available.

Bank accounts in all 28 members of the European Union, as well as four members of the European Free Trade Association, are supported for cryptocurrency purchases.
