Now the firm is adding ethereum to its popular consumer wallet, and users will be able to exchange between both bitcoin and ether through a partnership with Shapeshift. With the addition of ether, the company wants customers to explore a different digital asset while remaining comfortable with the Blockchain wallet security.

Many other more young wallets have already added Etherum to their functionality long time ago. Blockchain.info is well known for it's conservative, but finally they decided to join to Etherum use as well. Well, I am not surprised, Etherum has made big progress this year. And if it's old competitor Litecoin gone in shadow, Etherum is on the wave of success.
