Intuitive tax solutions needed to drive adoption

Canty asserted that Ledgible offers notable benefits to crypto investors, including “integrations and partnerships with existing general ledger software such as Xero, Intuit Quickbooks, and NetSuite,” and “multi-account capabilities and user permissioning” capabilities.

Canty emphasized that robust tax and accounting solutions are needed in order for crypto assets to attract widespread adoption, stating:

“Verady is determined to help move the cryptocurrency industry forward with advanced, secure, and intuitive reporting tools. In a rapidly changing economic landscape, we're glad to work alongside leaders in the industry to make crypto more accessible.”
