"If you want people outside of tech enthusiasts to use crypto, you need to make crypto wallets as easy and secure as popular payments apps like Venmo or CashApp," Turnkey said in an emailed comment to CoinDesk.

The company counts prediction market platform Polymarket, non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace Magic Eden and Stripe-owned stablecoin firm Bridge among its clients.
