What is Relai

The start-up was founded by Julian Liniger and Adem Bilican when they were looking for a hassle-free way to safely buy bitcoin. They created the platform to allow retail investors buy and sell bitcoin without the additional constraints of registration, verification, or deposits – it also gives investors full control of their funds via a non-custodial bitcoin wallet.

Driven by the belief that Bitcoin is the best way to save money, Relai is raising a new generation of long-term investors by giving them simple, user-friendly, and secure access to Bitcoin.
