8.56am - UPDATE - Barclays links with CoinBase
Barclays has signed a deal with a major bitcoin exchange to simplify the process of deposits and withdrawals for Coinbase’s UK customers, who have previously had to route their transactions through an Estonian bank.
The Financial Times report that San Francisco start-up Coinbase has secured a bank account with the British bank.
The move marks a break from the general trend of mainstream banks avoiding the cryptocurrency industry over price volatility and links to fraud.
