Circle Adds 'Buy the Market' Feature to Crypto Investment App
Circle Invest formally launched the startup's trading platform on Tuesday.
Payments startup Circle has launched the full version of its crypto investment app.
After a soft launch back in March 2018, the company is making the app with its full suite of services available as of Tuesday. Circle first announced its investor-focused app back in November and later released it in 46 U.S. states as part of an "early access availability" phase.
One of the features going live on Tuesday is the "Buy the Market" tool, which is geared toward newer users, Circle senior product manager Rachel Mayer told CoinDesk.
"'Buy the Market' is the culmination of all we've been doing since the soft launch," she said, going on to explain:
"The focus is the market," Mayer added.
Circle Invest will mark assets up by 1 percent when users buy or sell a particular cryptocurrency, but will not charge any fixed fees on top. This differs from existing trading platforms, which she said charge both a markup and trading fees.
