Circle launches a Coinbase competitor in the U.S.
TechCrunch
“Circle is launching Circle Invest in the U.S. except in NY, MN, HI and WY. The app is now available in the App Store and Play Store and lets you instantly trade the most popular cryptocurrencies without any fee. Circle Invest isn’t exactly an exchange as the app hides most of the complexities that you can find on full-fledged exchanges. You can’t submit limit orders or look at the order book. You can only deposit and withdraw money, buy and sell cryptocurrencies at market prices. Circle Invest currently supports Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic and Litecoin. The company will need to overcome some regulatory challenges to roll out its product in the last four states.”
