Backed by PayPal, fintech connection layer Mesh has unveiled a partnership with Italy’s crypto wallet Conio. 
American <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/fintech/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fintech</a> startup Mesh has announced a partnership with <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/italy/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Italian</a> crypto wallet Conio, aiming to broaden its reach to multiple crypto trading platforms such as Coinbase and Binance. The collaboration will enable Conio’s 430,000 Italian customers to access 10 crypto exchanges and withdraw funds into their Conio wallets, the report says. 
Conio, backed by the Italian postal service Poste Italiane, noted in a commentary to Reuters that a recent study by Adan and KPMG revealed nearly two-thirds of Italians who purchase crypto store digital assets on the exchanges where they buy them, rather than using personal wallets. 
With this partnership, Conio aims to raise awareness among retail investors about the option of storing their crypto outside exchanges. Data indicates that 63% of investors in France and 69% in the U.K. hold their crypto on exchanges, Conio says.
