Blockstream has announced strategic partnership with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) to promote blockchain worldwide.

For PwC this partnership means better access to blockchain technologies for the corporation’s numerous clients.

“For our clients, understanding new world applications of Bitcoin and blockchain technology, adapting it for myriad uses, and using it optimally are critical to improving financial security,” said the company’s FinTech Co-Leader Haskell S. Garfinkel.

“PwC is teaming with Blockstream to offer our joint knowledge and capabilities to clients – giving them one place to go, maximizing expertise, talent, and assets from both organizations.”

For Blockstream cooperation with PwC means creating a broad platform for application of the company’s blockchain technologies. “PwC brings deep industry experience, a broad range of business services and cutting-edge client insights. Together PwC and Blockstream will help companies evaluate cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies and launch new uses for the Bitcoin protocol,” reads the company’s press release.

This is not the first time PwC shows interest in cryptocurrencies. CoinFox wrote earlier this month that the corporation had organised a team of 15 fintech specialists that would focus on exploiting and commercialising of blockchain.
