Yahoo Finance, one of the leading providers of financial information, has added cryptocurrency trading capabilities to its platform.
The company added over 100 cryptocurrency quote pages across all platforms last year. In a blog post dated August 30, it said that it is facilitating crypto trading in Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Dogecoin (DOGE) via integration with TradeIt.
The cryptocurrency ecosystem welcomed the announcement and believes that such efforts will help drive mass adoption.
