The platform provides its users with statistics for multiple cryptocurrencies, but currently only allows sales and purchases of the 3 crypto leaders.  

That came as a great surprise and cryptocurrency enthusiasts such as Antony Pompliano, the founder of Morgan Creek Digital shared the news on Twitter. The team of developers believes the integration is a huge step towards crypto adoption.

Bitcoin continues its high streak while still trading above the $7,000 point, after it broke it on August 28th. Currently, BTC is trading around the $7, 043 mark.

Ethereum, on the other hand, is down by 1.36 percent and is being exchanged at around $290. Litecoin marks a price decrease of 1.74% and is trading around $62. The total market capitalization is over 3 million dollars and the 24-hour trading volume has hit 222 million dollars.

Earlier this year, in March, Yahoo‘s Japanese headquarters headlined the crypto and financial news by announcing they will be able to start a cryptocurrency exchange platform in April 2019. Yahoo Japan wanted to buy 40 percent of BitARG Exchange a platform that is situated in Tokyo.

The executives will be ready to launch Yahoo Exchange next year.
