Works like an exchange is this allowed for US citizens? The US had few trusted exchanges and this might add to their list.

This also got me confused. I thought Yahoo finance was only a place to look at prices and portfolio values; basically price tickers for stocks and stuff. But then news came out that they integrated crypto trading.

Wow! This is a great news to me. I never expected this from Yahoo Finance though. I believe this is an indication that something good is coming to the Cryptoworld soon. No doubt, other email serving company will follow in such route.

That's good news!

Making crypto currency available to more people is never a bad idea

I wish Google & Facebook would be more into crypto currency promotion & integration, maybe this way we would see increases as we did last year.

yahoos japanese subsiduary. bought 40% of a crypto exchange BitARG

the only thing is bitarg has only done 1000 trades in 4 years. so it was a cheap purchase price for yahoo to buy a large stake in bitarg.
now yahoo will ramp up the trading engine and by 2019 re-release bitarg as a bigger proper exchange.
yahoo has not said it will integrate bitarg into the yahoo brand. so i suspect they will just keep it as a side service and just take profits from th trade order fee's

Well, if that's a legit news, then it's a good news for the market, I guess it will help Bitcoin recovery, I hope that the bond or partnership between become stronger even though it's just starting. This is a good news because it's an email, and there's also a lot of user when it comes to yahoo, because some users of social media and etc.. needs yahoo.

Big news.

This can be a good thing since investors keeps on looking there as like a newspaper to them for mutual funds and portfolios.
I work with mutual funds information and I have been using yahoo finance as a means to get all the info.
So this could be some good changes and we might be seeing some good pumps on the days to come.

Actually, we're very early in the crypto currency era. The word is spreading slowly.I am sure Google and FB will take up crypto currency in the future.  It's probably only a matter of time. One day,  crypto currency will be widely available to all who need it. In the meantime, we should try to help spread the word.  We must let people know about it and particularly, how it can help them.It's such a value-adding commodity. It literally revolutionizes lives and finances.

Now Yahoo is joining in on the bandwagon. Although not immediately as they are just showing statistics on their page, Only the Japanese I read that will try to implement trading around 2019. Still, if they did, that will be a lot of income per transaction for their company.

One more step for crypto bright future if yahoo finance did this kind of cryptocurrency integration than more peoples can use cryptocurrencies via this platform, i hope more search engine like google and social media platform like Facebook & twitter will integrate with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and these kind of brand names give a new kick to cryptocurrency and take it to the next level.

More exchanges open up more room for demand, more demand is never a bad thing in my book.

I agree. Even though this new is not that relevant(in my opinion), it's still something. Progress is progress no matter how small. All these small things adds up long term.

Japanese arm of internet giant 'Yahoo' declared about launching own crypto exchange on April 2019 or later. Finance executives of Yahoo Finance have started working on that goal.
The development has led some in the crypto community to say that it is an important step forward for crypto adoption. YAHOO is a reliable name. In this stage, price of btc is not that important. But important thing is utility, market place and adoption

Now that scam projects had reduced, Institution are now beginning to see a lot of advantages in blockchain as a whole. Have seen a lot of recommendation in the use of blockchain lately than in my 2½ years. It is now a useful tool for governments and institutes if it can be safer. Yahoo has not at any time ban cryptocurrency but have been silent until now.

[cryptolovers990]
