On July 9, it was reported that Bow Valley Credit Union (BVCU) in Canada has partnered with Balance Custody and Bull Bitcoin to launch the country’s first “Bitcoin Gateway” service, allowing its members to purchase Bitcoin directly from their BVCU accounts. BVCU members can now buy Bitcoin directly from their accounts through the app, making it easy to purchase Bitcoin with Canadian dollars without requiring extensive technical knowledge, while retaining full ownership of their Bitcoin.
