The issue is that cryptography and cryptocurrency overlap relevancy in the fintech space. Without specifying which, it’s ambiguous. I say this as an engineer on the security team of a major fintech company who also has a cryptocurrency arm.
It’s fine to call cryptocurrencies “crypto”. It’s less fine to be unnecessarily ambiguous and create confusion when either might be relevant. If not for this discussion, I had assumed the article would be about them acquiring an HSM vendor or someone else in the cryptography space.
Admittedly this is the original title. But it’s an ambiguous and confusing title.
