Summary

Himalaya Exchange is a fintech app that enables its users to buy, sell, and trade all types of cryptocurrencies hassle-free.

History

Himalaya Exchange brands itself as the world’s first true crypto ecosystem, a place where money is instantly accessible, effortlessly exchanged and universally accepted. With that in mind, they created the Himalaya Coin: a currency people can use with confidence everyday, designed with value preservation in mind. They believe that the global, open, instant and low-cost movement of money will create immense economic opportunity and more commerce all over the world. Himalaya Coin was created to deliver real value and utility to its users in their day-to-day lives. Available globally, Himalaya Coin will enable quick and easy payment transactions through the Himalaya Pay App, no matter whether you are sending or spending your digital currency. As one of the company’s executives, Jesse Brown, explained in a recent interview with Hilton Supra, Himalaya Exchange provides real incentives from failing fiat currencies in the form of their stablecoin, Himalaya Dollar. “With real-time attestation facilities, we empower our coin with the ability to be tracked, something that you can’t do in traditional finance. So, there is a lot of ways we are making things more transparent.” He also mentioned the decentralised finance models that Himalaya Exchange is currently targeting. Brown expanded on the exchange’s long-term goals to become one of the top exchanges in the world, trading larger volumes, and havingmore pairs on it. “Our mission is to provide financial freedom and ability to people to own their assets and control their own money. So, we are trying to reach out to people who are disenfranchised and have no access to financial institutions or even the internet. That’s an area where there is a lot of opportunity for us.”

Mission

Driven by their mission to give back the power over consumer’s money to them, Himalaya are redefining currency on a regulatory-compliant platform. They harness Consensys Quorum: the power to enable effortless trading at super-fast transactional speed, facilitating high volume and deep liquidity. As they say, “this is the new age for cryptocurrency”.

Vision

According to the company’s website, their vision is characterised by three main goals: A desire to challenge the status quo, disrupt traditional ideology, and be at the frontier of Fintech. All for one and one for all, we work together, we grow together, we excel together. A dedication and passion for their mission, an ambition to build and learn.
