For most of the digital currency's existence, the price of a bitcoin has swung wildly. Coinapult is looking to remove this risk with the launch of Coinapult Locks, which pins the value of a user's bitcoin balance to a stable asset.

"Our thesis is that 99% of normal people aren't currency speculators, and won't deal with a service that exposes them to volatility in daily transactions,” said Gabe Sukenik, executive director at Coinapult. “We created Locks as a bridge to overcome this barrier to entry, and allow users to exist in the Bitcoin ecosystem without have to worry about the price.”
