Blockchain Reports 3 Millionth Bitcoin Wallet
Wallet software provider Blockchain has opened its three millionth bitcoin wallet, having doubled downloads in less than a year. The company has seen continued demand since bitcoin's 2013 price spike, passing the 1.5 million milestone in April. Rival Coinbase currently lists 2.5 million wallets in the wild. Speaking to CoinDesk, CEO Peter Smith could not confirm how many of Blockchain's wallet accounts are active (ie contain funds) for privacy reasons. However, he pointed to record-breaking transaction volume as a sign of bitcoin's user growth.
