Besides being a payment processor and application programming interface (API) wallet-as-a-service provider, Blockpay will facilitate payments for Fluidcoins’ existing clients such as Accrue, The Peer, and Getequity, the report added.Meanwhile, Fluidcoins CEO Lanre Adenowo is quoted describing his firm’s reported acquisition by Blockfinex as an “acquihire deal” that will not result in management or staff changes. The deal nonetheless allows Fluidcoins to keep operating.According to the report, the acquisition deal includes all of the Nigerian crypto payment gateway’s entities including Flip and Fluidshops.TAGS IN THIS STORY<a href="https://news.bitcoin.com/tag/blockfinex/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Blockfinex</a>, <a href="https://news.bitcoin.com/tag/crypto-payment-gateway/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto payment gateway</a>, <a href="https://news.bitcoin.com/tag/danny-oyekan/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Danny Oyekan</a>, <a href="https://news.bitcoin.com/tag/fluidcoins/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Fluidcoins</a>, <a href="https://news.bitcoin.com/tag/lanre-adenowo/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Lanre Adenowo</a>, <a href="https://www.tethereum.exchange/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TETHEREUM</a>What are your thoughts on this story?
