At present, AppGallery is pre-installed on only new Huawei devices. It is expected to be introduced for older devices in the coming months.
Huawei Mobile Services vice president Jaime Gonzalo said: “Cryptocurrencies have recently expanded the human understanding of digital economy at a large scale. From our leadership position in China, the tip of the spear of mobile payments, we expect to see massive growth in global cryptocurrency adoption habits in the near future.”
The latest move comes as China tightens its hold in the digital currency market by banning ICOs and crypto exchanges.
