Proton Launches Bitcoin Wallet With Privacy Features

Swiss privacy software developer Proton AG has announced the launch of Proton Wallet, a self-custody Bitcoin wallet. The wallet offers improved privacy by using different Bitcoin addresses for each user and features a "Bitcoin via Email" option for easy transactions. Proton AG's decision to enter the cryptocurrency space stems from a traumatic event in 2014 when PayPal blocked the company, leading to the acceptance of Bitcoin donations.
