• https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com

The bitcoin price has achieved a new all-time high at $8,040, within a week since it dipped below $5,600 on Sunday. Analysts expect the price of bitcoin to surge even further by the end of 2017, upon the entrance of institutional investors and retail traders through Coinbase, CBOE, Gemini, and CME.

Bitcoin Price Will Likely Surge Again in December

Earlier this week, CME Group announced that it will launch its bitcoin futures exchange approved by the Commodities and Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), to address the increasing demand from institutional investors and retail traders for bitcoin.

Today, on November 17, Coinbase, the largest bitcoin brokerage and wallet platform in the world, introduced Coinbase Custody, another bitcoin trading platform for institutional and retail traders. On Coinbase Custody, large-scale investors can invest a minimum value of $10 million in bitcoin.

Brian Armstrong, the CEO at the $1.6 billion bitcoin startup Coinbase, stated:

"We already store billions of dollars worth of digital assets on behalf of our customers. We serve thousands of institutions via our GDAX product, the leading digital currency exchange in the U.S. We've raised $216M from venture capital firms and financial institutions like the NYSE/ICE, USAA, BBVA, Westpac, and MUFG. And we have approximately 200 employees working across our three offices in New York, London, and San Francisco with deep industry knowledge."
