With the latest release of O3 for Mobile & Desktop, we are super excited to announce that O3 now supports most major crypto currencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC, Litecoin, EOS and many more! This is possible thanks to our integration with Coinbase.

One major problem cryptocurrency users have today is managing all of their cryptoassets at once. This because these assets are stored in a variety of places including hardware wallets, mobile and desktop wallets, custodial exchanges, or inside of smart contracts.

Keeping track of all of these assets in each application is often a nightmare, and using them is even harder. At O3 we always strive to make cryptocurrency easier to use, which is why we’re introducing a brand new feature on O3’s applications, Coinbase Connect.

Coinbase connect will allow you to link your Coinbase account into O3. After linking, you’ll be able to view and manage your portfolio assets.

Connect your Coinbase account in O3’s settings menu, and get access to all your assets in your portfolio view.

If you don’t have a Coinbase account yet, no problems, it only takes a few minutes to sign up for one, and even if purchasing via Coinbase isn’t available in your country yet, you can still use their wallet features to store your Bitcoins and other assets.

Our research has shown that while some users keep their assets only in decentralized wallets, the vast majority of users split their funds between custodial accounts and their own personal accounts. This makes sense as there are benefits to having a custodial account; for instance Coinbase can insure your digital currency, whereas losing your private key leads to an unrecoverable loss of funds.

The transition between a custodial account and your own wallet is often very difficult, but by connecting a decentralized wallet directly to your exchange account, it should give every cryptocurrency user more freedom on how to allocate and manage their assets.
