TECHi's Take
Bitcoin may be getting some of its groove back. Coinbase, a startup that develops a mobile wallet to buy and store the digital currency, announced Monday that it is launching the first licensed Bitcoin exchange in the United States with the goal to provide a more “reliable and secure platform” for trading bitcoins. “We believe Coinbase Exchange will bring stability and trust to the exchange space,” the startup wrote in a blog post. Coinbase has been at the forefront of legitimizing — or attempting to legitimize — the Bitcoin space in part by raising more than $100 million in funding from major VC firms and even The New York Stock Exchange.
