Bitcoin price breaks all-time highs these days and speculation electrifies those ready to jump on the bandwagon. As a result, digital exchanges add thousands of new users each day.
As the Bitcoin price continues rising for almost three weeks now, the interest in Bitcoin intensifies, thus a lot of people are rushing to purchase Bitcoin in digital currency exchanges, such as Coinbase.
Customers of the San Francisco-based Coinbase can instantly purchase Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin using their bank account.
According to Alistair Milne, of the Altana Digital Currency Fun, Coinbase had 100,000 new customers registered in the 24-hour period after the CME Group announcement on Bitcoin futures coming by the end of 2017.
