AlphaPoint Integrates Clef

19 May 2015

AlphaPoint, the leading technology backend for Bitcoin exchanges, announced today that they will support Clef for any of their exchanges.
Bitcoin exchanges are at the very heart of the ecosystem, and AlphaPoint powers many of them, including Bitfinex, the largest exchange in the US.

Security is critical for exchanges, who see large amounts of traffic and huge volumes of money pass through their system every day.
Two-factor authentication is offered by some, but the extra security that Clef offers is a major differentiator for high-value sites.
In addition, opt-in rates for traditional two-factor auth are under 15%, while Clef sees more than 50% of users choose our passwordless logins.

We have been focused on serving the Bitcoin community and the integration with AlphaPoint goes a long way to helping us protect more cryptocurrency sites.
Individual exchanges will still need to enable Clef to get the protection of this integration, but several exchanges have already announced that they’ll be enabling
Clef immediately, including MeXBT, FlowBTC, and Bitt.

Stay tuned for more Bitcoin announcements coming in the next few weeks!
