[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px][url=http://www.enread.com/news/business/95074.html]Bitcoin[/url], a virtual currency, has been attracting a lot of interest and its value surpassed $1,000 recently.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Backers of the currency, which is not controlled by regulators, have been pushing for its increased usage. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Coinbase said it will use the funding to "educate the market, and promote the mainstream adoption of Bitcoin". [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]"We are nearing a tipping point for broad adoption of Bitcoin - what we at Coinbase believe to be one of the most important shifts in the global economy in our lifetime," the firm said in a blogpost.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px][b]Mixed response[/b][/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Confidence in Bitcoins has grown after a US Senate committee described it as a "legitimate [url=http://www.enread.com/news/business/95074.html]financial[/url] service" at a meeting in October.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]However, on Friday, the European Banking Authority (EBA) warned about the potential risks of using Bitcoins.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]"In particular, consumers should be aware that exchange platforms tend to be unregulated and are not banks that hold their virtual currency as a deposit," the EBA said. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]"Currently, no specific regulatory protections exist in the European Union that would protect consumers from financial losses if a platform that exchanges or holds virtual currencies fails or goes out of business."[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]China, the world's second largest economy, has also banned its banks from handling Bitcoin transactions, saying they had no legal status and should not be used as a currency.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]At the same time, there have been concerns that the rise in Bitcoin's value has been triggered by speculators looking to cash in on its popularity. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Alan Greenspan, former US Federal Reserve chairman, has called the rapid rise a "[url=http://www.enread.com/news/business/95074.html]bubble[/url]".[/size][/font]
