According to the company’s CMO Emily Coleman, the new version of the exchange will make better use of ShapeShift’s diverse products, such as their cryptocurrency hardware wallet KeepKey and pricing tracker CoinCap. “The goal is to create fluidity between products,” said Coleman.

Back in January, ShapeShift was forced to lay off a third of its staff due to a drop in revenue.
