华为在App Store发布比特币钱包，预装在所有新智能手机上

据彭博社5月10日报道，中国跨国通信技术公司华为技术有限公司宣布，从周五开始，移动电话用户将可以从新的华为设备上下载比特币钱包。

据BTC.com的业务运营副总裁Alejandro de la Torre说，华为正在AppGallery应用商店中发布BTC.com的比特币钱包，这款钱包将预装在所有新的华为智能手机上。据报道，这将是华为设备上推出的首个数字货币应用。

由于政府封锁了Android的谷歌游戏商店和苹果应用商店的某些部分，像BTC.com这样的应用在中国是有限的。尽管中国当局关闭了加密货币交易所，并禁止了首次发行的硬币，但人们仍然可以持有加密货币。

今年3月，有报道称，华为正计划开发一款智能手机，支持在区块链技术上运行的分布式应用程序(DApp)。去年，华为在中国市场的销量为90.9万辆，占据了20.4%的市场份额。2018年第一季度，华为在全球的市场份额为11.8%。

上个月，华为宣布推出一款以智能合同开发为核心的区块链-as-a- service (BaaS)平台，“为企业和开发者提供高性能、高可用性和高安全性的区块链技术平台服务”。

与此同时，中国计划在2019年底前发布全国性的区块链标准。据报道，一个专门的工作组已经开始着手这个项目。

Huawei Technologies Co., a Chinese multinational communications technology company, has announced that mobile phone users will be able to download Bitcoin (BTC) wallets on new Huawei devices starting Friday, Bloomberg reported May 10.

Huawei is releasing BTC.com’s Bitcoin wallet in its AppGallery app store, which will be pre-installed on all new Huawei smartphones, according to Alejandro de la Torre, vice president of business operations at BTC.com. It will reportedly be the first digital currency app offered on Huawei devices.

Access to apps like BTC.com’s is limited in China as the government blocks Android’s Google Play Store and some parts of Apple’s App Store. While Chinese authorities shut downcryptocurrency exchanges and banned initial coin offerings, people can still own cryptocurrencies.

n March, it was reported that Huawei is planning to develop a smartphone that will support decentralized applications (DApp) running on blockchain technology. Last year, Huawei shipped90.9 mln units in the Chinese market, where it enjoys a dominant market share of 20.4 percent. Huawei’s global market share was 11.8 percent in the first quarter of 2018.

Last month, Huawei announced the launch of a Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) platform focused on smart contract development, “a high-performance, high-availability, and high-security blockchain technology platform service for enterprises and developers.”

Meanwhile, China is planning to release nationwide blockchain standards by the end of 2019. A dedicated working group has reportedly already begun work on the project.
