Casa to add Ethereum (ETH) support in 2023, “Professional Cypherpunk” Jameson Lopp says
Casa, one of the oldest and most reliable services for Bitcoin (BTC) self-custody, will also start supporting Ethereum (ETH). Big announcements are expected in 2023.
Casa welcomes Ethereum, Jameson Lopp says
Bitcoin (BTC) evangelist Jameson Lopp took to Twitter to announce that his wallet Casa is going to add support for Ethereum (ETH), the second largest cryptocurrency.
Lope also explained the inspiration for this release. He announced that the addition of Ethereum (ETH) to CASA is a result of demand from potential and existing customers of CASA.
Users-to-be, Lopp says, are seeking secure and easy-to-use self-custody that would allow them to move “significant” amounts of BTC and ETH without leaving a single interface.
Lopp emphasized that the opportunity to secure private keys is a tool that should be available to a wide audience:
Our vision at Casa is to help build a world in which individuals are empowered by cryptography. To take this mainstream, it must be easy for the average person to confidently secure their own private keys. Helping people secure keys for digital assets is just the first step
While he refrained from setting a timeline for new releases, he noted that more announcements are expected in 2023.
What about other altcoins?
Lopp stated that Casa does not cease building Bitcoin (BTC) solutions. Regarding adding other altcoins, he said that no assets will be added unless sufficient demand is seen.
The announcement was met with enthusiasm from both prominent bitcoiners (Muneeb Ali) and Etherians (Tim Biko and Hudson Jameson). Lope himself is often referred to in various crypto media outlets as a “Bitcoin Maximalist”. However, he may not agree with this label.
As covered by U.Today previously, Ethereum (ETH) supporters have mocked Jameson Lopp over his support for the regulated token sale platform.
