Coinbase Global and PNC Financial Services Group have partnered to offer customers a way to buy, sell, and hold cryptocurrencies through PNC accounts. PNC will also provide select banking services to Coinbase. The collaboration aims to meet the increasing demand for secure access to digital assets.

The total market capitalization of crypto is nearing $4 trillion, with bitcoin reaching all-time highs above $122,000.
