Jon Matonis is also currently in the BPI Committee for the curated “Bitcoin Price Index” at Coindesk, and is the former Executive Director of the Bitcoin Foundation. The news comes as Cubits re-focus their services to the consumer market across Europe by celebrating the launch of their new-look website.

The appointment arises from a synergy over the direction the Bitcoin industry should be taking. Cubits is integrated with a number of existing payment providers that make the purchase of Bitcoin far easier for ordinary consumers, that access is expanding all the time. With household names such as Sofort on board and operating across 17 currencies, Cubits is pushing the market forward:

"Cubits was a simple choice for me. Their team has a proven track record with the right model to scale quickly in the current Bitcoin environment," Jon Matonis.

Accessibility is built into every aspect of their design from fast SMS verification to instant Bitcoin buying and selling from within the wallet interface. Features like these put Cubits in a competitive position being able to offer the easiest on-ramp yet for many Europeans. The Cubits platform enables customers to move in and out of Bitcoin at a moments notice, and with growing tension in the Eurozone many are finding utility in this service:

“We have seen tremendous growth in recent months that we attribute to continuing unease in the Eurozone. People are clearly searching for alternative ways to achieve some control over their funds and Cubits is meeting their needs” Tim Rehder, CEO, Cubits.

Appointing Jon Matonis to their board of directors, alongside Bitcoin pioneer Adam Vaziri and leading industry figure Graeme Jones, should further enhance Cubits’ position as the number one hub for Bitcoin buying and selling across Europe. Striving to become the largest blockchain-based financial institution in Europe: Cubits now has the team, as well as the infrastructure, to make this vision a reality.
