Bitcoin app Abra is set to launch next month

Bitcoin-based remittance app Abra announced that, starting next month, it will begin its long-awaited global rollout.

Upon the launch of Abra, users will be able to send and receive money in over 50 currencies. Abra also includes direct bitcoin support allowing users to send bitcoin payments to family members or friends abroad with low fees.

Bitcoin has been a large part of and the key to Abra’s efforts, albeit not always conspicuous. Although, now Abra is confident about the fact that they can release a digital currency product using Bitcoin without confusing the average consumer, after their last year’s Philippines and the US launch.

The Silicon Valley-based startup will begin gradually launching the service in select markets, where users send digital cash via their phone number.
