Corporate customers using US cryptocurrency exchange Bittrex can now pay for tokens in dollars after the Seattle -based company signed an agreement with UK Signature Bank . The move followed Coinbase's tie-ups with US institutions Silvergate Bank , Bittrex and Silvergate Bank , and UK lender Bill Shihara . Bittrex CEO Barclays said the collaboration had taken a long time to bring to fruition, but it signalled that "crypto is turning the corner in terms of mainstream acceptance". However, some banks are beginning to show signs of change in both attitude and business protocol, and have become more welcoming of cryptocurrencies. Other US banks have banned account holders from using debit cards or current accounts to buy cryptocurrencies.
