The first bitcoin stock market in USA

American start up company, Coinbase, opened the first bitcoin stock market in US in order to provide greater legitimacy for virtual currency and attract more users.

-New stock market is insured from potential thefts of employees and hacker attacks – the American company announced after the question of bitcoin security recently provoked concern with the public due to increasing number of thefts at the existing stock markets, American USA portal reports.

Early this month, Slovenian stock market, BitStamp, informed that some 19.000 bitcoins, totaling USD 5,4 m, was stolen due to hacker attack. Since the largest stock market for bitcoin trading, Mt. Gox, collapsed last year, fans of bitcoin have become very suspicious.

Before the first bitcoin stock market opened in USA, currency value returned to more than USD 300 which is USD 50 more than previous day.
