Huawei Technologies Co. is taking a step into the cryptocurrency sphere. The company is said to introduce Bitcoin wallet app on its mobile phones what would be the first such mobile app co-developed by this company. As mobile wallet apps are nothing new the one developed by Huawei in cooperation with BTC.com is worth mentioning due to the geographical popularity of the Huawei phones. In China, where this company sells most of its mobile phone, some parts of the Android and iOS app store are blocked by the government.. As Huawei store is not a subject to such restrictions a new app may be the first one to offer Chinese citizens a more portable and easier access to their cryptocurrency holdings.link do file download link
