River Revolutionizes Bitcoin Payments with River Link

River launches River Link, a feature that allows users to send and receive bitcoin via text message. This simplifies the bitcoin transaction experience and makes it more accessible to users worldwide.

In a groundbreaking move that redefines the Bitcoin payment landscape, River, a leading Bitcoin technology and financial services company, has launched River Link, a revolutionary feature that enables seamless global Bitcoin transfers via text messaging. This groundbreaking innovation eliminates the complexities and inefficiencies of traditional Bitcoin transactions, making it easier than ever to send and receive Bitcoin anywhere in the world.

River Link: Breaking Down Barriers, Embracing Simplicity

“The traditional Bitcoin transaction experience is clunky. Other companies have attempted to solve this with siloed features that require both parties to use the same app,” says River CEO, Alex Leishman. “This improves the transaction experience, but restricts user choice and dictates where people need to hold their Bitcoin.”

He added:

“With River Link, we reimagined the Bitcoin transaction experience–embracing the simplicity of a user-centric app with Bitcoin’s ethos of an open network.”

Frictionless Transfers, Open Access

River Link eliminates the multi-step process and information collection that previously characterized Bitcoin transactions. Users no longer need to gather on-chain or Lightning payment details, as River Link simplifies the process to a single step: enter the amount, text it to the recipient, and they can claim the Bitcoin to any wallet of their choosing, regardless of their existing platform preferences.

A Paradigm Shift in Bitcoin Payments

River COO Julia Duzon aptly captures the essence of River Link, stating:

“This experience is truly frictionless, interoperable, and open – the way Bitcoin was always intended to be.”

By removing the barriers and embracing the open nature of Bitcoin, River Link revolutionizes the way people send and receive Bitcoin, making it accessible to a wider audience and furthering the adoption of this transformative technology.

Duzon adds:

“Simply enter the amount of the River Link, text it to your friend, and they can claim the Bitcoin to any wallet.”

A Future of Seamless Bitcoin Payments

River Link marks a turning point in Bitcoin’s evolution, paving the way for a future where sending and receiving Bitcoin is as simple as sending a text message. This innovation aligns with River’s commitment to making Bitcoin accessible and user-friendly, fostering wider adoption and propelling Bitcoin towards its full potential as a transformative technology in facilitating cross-border payments, remittances, and other financial transactions.
