, a pioneer in the Bitcoin and crypto space since 2015, has added support for Zano, the layer-1 blockchain for confidential assets and private dApps. By adding Zano support, continues to expand its ecosystem with cutting-edge privacy tools that empower users to take full control of their financial data. This makes privacy-first finance more accessible to millions worldwide, bridging the gap between crypto adoption and financial sovereignty.
CEO Corbin Fraser emphasized the importance of financial privacy, stating, “Financial transactions are deeply personal, and in a world where financial surveillance is increasing, privacy should not be optional—it should be standard. Without privacy, individuals are vulnerable to exploitation, censorship, and undue financial control. The integration of Zano into the Wallet app represents a significant step toward making privacy mainstream, ensuring that anyone, regardless of technical expertise, can use crypto freely and securely.”
Founded by Andrey Sabelnikov, the lead developer behind CryptoNote – a privacy coin protocol used by Monero and hundreds of other projects, Zano is designed to provide users with untraceable, private transactions. Zano has been in development since 2019 and is now gaining traction as more people wake up to the importance of financial privacy.
Quinten van Welzen, Head of Marketing & Growth at Zano, shared his excitement: “Privacy should not be a niche feature—it should be the foundation of modern finance. By bringing Zano to the ecosystem, we’re not just catering to privacy advocates but making privacy-first crypto transactions a viable and accessible option for everyone. This integration is a major step in mainstreaming financial privacy and ensuring that individuals worldwide can regain control over their transactions.”
’s commitment to financial privacy aligns with Zano’s vision of a decentralized, privacy-first economy. As the regulatory landscape around digital assets evolves, solutions like Zano provide individuals and businesses with the tools necessary to maintain financial autonomy without sacrificing usability or accessibility.
The integration of Zano to the Wallet app follows the successful launch of ZANO on ’s Verse DEX, where users have been able to trade wrapped ZANO (wZANO) and participate in high-yield liquidity farming. Now, with direct support for Zano in the Wallet app (v8.65 and up), where over 55m self-custody wallets have been created, millions of people have even greater flexibility in managing their assets within a secure, self-custodial environment.
Zano’s Confidential Assets are expected to be available in the Wallet soon, allowing users to hold and transact assets on the Zano blockchain that maintain full confidentiality. These assets will include stablecoins and a wrapped form of Bitcoin itself. This reinforces ’s dedication to user security and control — even when it comes to marquee cryptoassets like Bitcoin.
