Blockchain.com has made its cryptocurrency platform available in South Dakota.

Upon launching its custodial and brokerage product, the company reported a 2,000 percent spike in unique users, which it said demonstrates “tremendous demand” for cryptocurrency trading in South Dakota.

Product availability also has rolled out in North Dakota, Iowa, Florida and Oklahoma in the past few weeks. The crypto platform is offered in more than 30 states and aims to open up product availability to all 50 states through individual license approvals.

Blockchain.com also is advertising for remote workers, with roles in compliance, customer success, data science, engineering, finance, legal and marketing that can be found at Blockchain.com/Careers.

“As Bitcoin surpasses $60,000, we’re excited to continue making crypto easily accessible to everyone, everywhere, including those in the Mount Rushmore State,” Brooks Wallace, Blockchain.com head of communications, said in a statement. “In the days following launch, we saw a 2,000 percent spike in unique users from South Dakotans, demonstrating that they were anxious for crypto trading. They know that it’s not too late to be early to crypto.”
