Coinbase is officially adding support for the digital currency litecoin to its wallet offering.
The decision comes months after Coinbase's digital asset exchange, GDAX, added support for litecoin trading, though the startup has long teased the prospect of additional litecoin integrations – its creator, Charlie Lee, serves as the startup's director of engineering.
Overall, it's the latest notable boost for the older cryptocurrency, which has seen its public profile rise recently amid news of its forthcoming adoption of the scaling solution SegWit. That adoption has signaled the possibility for additional tech upgrades (not to mention a rising price).
