HTC will launch its own smartphone focused on cryptocurrencies
Taiwanese consumer electronics manufacturer High Tech Computer Corporation or HTC (TWSE: 2498) will launch its own specialized smart phone for cryptocurrencies, under the name of Exodus. The company has announced that it is developing a "blockchain-based" device that is supported by Google's Android operating system.

The phone is expected to contain a universal wallet and an "integrated secure hardware enclave" that supports cryptocurrencies and dapps (decentralized applications). HTC reportedly also wants to create its own network with each phone that serves as a node to facilitate commerce within it.

Finally, the company is analyzing the possibility of selling the device for cryptocurrencies. "Through Exodus, we are excited to support underlying protocols such as Bitcoin, Lightning Networks, Ethereum, Dfinity and more," Phil Chen, head of development, told TheNextweb. "We would like to support the entire blockchain ecosystem, and in the coming months we will announce many more exciting alliances."

If you follow carefully the electronics market, you should know that HTC has not done so well in recent years despite having created some great devices. In this context, it is possible to imagine that the company is betting on a cryptocurrency to give it a more tense brand to attract young people with a privacy mentality and to the public more knowledgeable about technology.

However, other companies have explored the field before HTC and, therefore, it is possible that many more soon have support for cryptocurrencies built into their devices.

Earlier this month we reported on the technical details that have emerged about Sirin Finney , an ultra-secure mobile device that promises to keep your cryptocurrency transactions private.

The phone will have an integrated cold storage wallet, and will be built by the same company that builds the iPhone, Foxconn. In addition, in March of this year, it was rumored that Chinese smart phone manufacturer Huawei was also in serious talks with Sirin Labs about an equal device.
