The Circle Invest App On Testflight
Just recently we were sent an invitation code to give the new Circle Invest app a test, so we decided to give our readers a sneak peek before the official release. The company Circle is a well-known firm in the bitcoin space founded in 2013 by Jeremy Allaire and Sean Neville. A lot of venture capital has been injected into Circle to the tune of $136 million USD from investors like IDG Capital Partners, and Goldman Sachs.

All of the currencies can be seen in unison with a quick scroll as well.
Just like Coinbase in order to utilize the Circle Invest app users have to verify their identity. An authenticated identity will allow an individual to purchase and sell the listed cryptocurrencies using the platform. To purchase digital assets with the Circle Invest platform, a bank account must be tethered to the application, and there are many banks to choose from. The app includes a profile section, bank accounts, security settings, and a help section. The help section will
