Great news for us brits, though tbf ive got used to EUR now.
Not sure if I'll bother setting things up again to deposit straight from GBP but the point is it's another plus point and onramp for UK normies when btc
gets a bit more upward movement going. Can only be a good thing.

Coinbase Pro Announces Trading Pairs with British Pounds for UK Customers
Coinbase has announced yesterday the launched of new GBP trading pairs to start on Friday 7 September at 9 AM BST.
The new pairs being launched are ETH/GBP, ETC/GBP, LTC/GBP, and BCH/GBP – Coinbase Pro already supports BTC/GBP at this time.
The announcement follows the news released earlier this month that Coinbase would be adding GBP support, something discussed by Coinbase UK CEO Zeeshan Feroz in a recent CCN interview. Coinbase listed Ethereum Classic in mid-August, causing a price spike due to the increased interest in and liquidity of the cryptocurrency.
The new GBP features come with benefits for UK customers wishing to trade in cryptocurrencies, making it faster and cheaper for them to do so. As Feroz told CCN:
“We have been working to introduce Faster Payments for as long as we’ve been operating in the UK. Customers not only benefit from increased speed, but reduced cost as well. By no longer having to convert funds from Pound Sterling to Euros and vice versa to add and remove funds, there will be no more exchange rates. This will make crypto easily accessible to most people in the UK.”
There will be three stages to the new pairs launch – Coinbase Pro will follow each of these stages independently with each phase announced in real time via Coinbase Pro’s Twitter.
