Some crypto companies can brag about their OG status in the space, however others who are relatively new let their actions speak for them. Swan Bitcoin’s short history in crypto has not stopped it from quickly becoming a dominant player. Offering newcomers, retail, and high net worth individuals alike the opportunity to buy Bitcoin and dollar cost average has given them a place at the table.
