Jasmine Xu, Bitski: Simplifying the Crypto Wallet Experience

Why does a crypto wallet have to be so complicated and so confusing?

This week, our guest on Web 2.5 is Jasmine Xu, the Head of Product at Bitski, the self-described NFT wallet for everyone.

Crypto wallets are one-stop shops to buy, sell, transfer, and collect cryptocurrencies and NFTs. And Bitski believes that the key to greater crypto participation is creating a more user-friendly, mobile-friendly, and secure wallet experience.

In today’s episode, Jasmine gives us the inside scoop on crypto wallets, how they work, how Bitski’s product is improving the user experience, and some of her favorite use cases for wallets and web3.
