“We’re pleased to announce the launch of Instant Exchange, a feature that allows users to send or receive bitcoin payments while eliminating exposure to bitcoin exchange rate fluctuation. Coinbase has long offered merchants the ability to automatically convert received bitcoin into their local currency, and now Instant Exchange is available to anyone with a local currency wallet.” Coinbase stated in a press release on their website.

The instant exchange will be subject to the same fees as found in the normal exchange and there will also be the same limits. Users who wishes to buy and sell large quantities of Bitcoins will need to go through a verification process before being able to do so.
