The folks over at Blockchain.info have acquired bitcoin price application ZeroBlock (LLC), as noted in an announcement this Christmas Eve.
The mobile application (available on both Android and iOS) provides the end user with the latest news, price quotes, and more. Dan Held, ZeroBlock’s developer, will be joining the Blockchain.info team as a product manager, as part of the acquisition.
It being the most-viewed bitcoin application on the Apple App Store, it’s easy to see Blockchain.info’s interest in the app.
Blockchain.info say that the acquisition of the app is part of their “very ambitious future goals in the bitcoin space.”
The deal was done entirely in bitcoin, but details on the cost of the acquisition have not surprisingly been kept confidential.
