Platio: Bridging the gap of traditional banking sector to the crypto community

Despite the immersive growth of the digital economy, many still remain indifferent towards this growing market. Crypto currencies, as many believed, has little to no value given that its integration to the physical world is of limited application as of this moment. To highlight this even more, the digital market has little access to the traditional financial services making it even more difficult for the mass to appreciate the growth and benefits it has in store.

The crypto sector is yet to be fully integrated to the global economy. Access to traditional financial services are note being fully deployed for crypto currencies. Once applied, this integration will greatly put the growth of the crypto community at a huge scale and mass adoption of the crypto market will start growing in a ramp. When such financial services become more easily accessible for the crypto community, will bridge the gap of the physical and digital world.

To have a platform that greatly understands this existing challenge, the team behind Platio is revolutionizing the crypto currency integration to the traditional banking services and make crypto currencies easily used as a mode of payment and increase its utility.

Banks are slowly accepting crypto services, however the community still lacks a full integration of the two markets due to the selective nature of traditional banks on providing services for the crypto community. This may be due to political or geographical laws that do not allow them to do so, but nonetheless, this fact hinders the world to embrace the world of crypto and its benefits.

Platio will serve as a bridge in patching the gap between the physical and digital world by being “fully compliant, regulated and technologically advanced” by tokenizing assets and supporting crypto, fiat and stock assets.

There are various existing challenges around the current crypto financial services that Platio hopes to address. This includes utilization of multiple accounts, price volatility risks, access loss risks, irreversible crypto payments, selective banking and the lack of crypto adoption.

With the current crypto management platforms, crypto users are having a hard time managing their assets due to the requirement of creating multiple accounts and logins to crypto wallets, banking and brokerage accounts. This activity increases chances of risks for having their accounts forgotten, stolen or hacked. But with Platio, the use of a single log-in features to all services and assets heighten the security level of the platform.

Crypto currencies’ price volatility gives more risks for crypto holders. With Platio’s Auto Exchange capability, the damage will be lessened as Platio can automatically transfer funds between different types of assets when a condition is triggered. This feature lessens the possible loss and risks to be carried by the asset holder.

Another existing issue is the possible access loss risks. Crypto assets are being secured with private keys and the loss of such means the total loss of all assets therein. Platio’s solution is the Standby Transfer feature where it can detect an idle account and transfer funds to a fiat account to avoid loss of assets along the loss of the private keys.

Once crypto payments have been made, there is no longer a way to recover the transaction or funds sent. In cases where funds are being transferred and a dispute happened, loss of funds become permanent. With Platio’s Smart Escrow, it can be guaranteed that payments will be made only after a predefined criteria is met. This gives fairness and efficiency to any transaction.

Lastly, traditional banks limiting the integration of crypto and traditional banking services also lessens the overall crypto adoption in businesses. But with Platio’s seven essential products that will help bridge the gap between fiat and crypto for businesses and the whole crypto community in general, Platio hopes to improve how the world perceives the crypto market as a whole.
