谷歌财经推出了比特币的价格跟踪，提供跨越多个主要法币市场的信息，以及获取数字货币世界的突破性新闻。
用户可以访问BTC/美元的市场价格，以及在英镑，日元，欧元，人民币，澳元及加元对比特币的市场价格。
该工具能够查询的历史数据可追溯至2013年6月。
谷歌财经的布局简单，轻松地导航没有很多花俏。
用户可以列出多个法定货币对比特币的价格，新闻追踪工具可以把新闻发布时间与市场波动挂钩。
该工具与雅虎财经的工具有许多相似之处，但它的图表和新闻行情有几种不同的布局方案。而且，雅虎财经不提供比特币对其他货币的价格。
谷歌加强与Bitcoin的关系
这种新工具可能是谷歌对比特币在某些方面最直接的整合。在过去，谷歌的领导成员已经明确表示，假以时日，这家搜索巨头将开始一定程度地接受比特币。
今年三月，贾里德·科恩，谷歌想法的主任，在得克萨斯州奥斯汀的SXSW会议上说，数字货币是不可避免的。与此同时，他大声问，是否比特币本身将被证明是顶级数字货币或许多新技术的蓝本。
在技术方面，比特币可能会在谷歌找到一片天地，通过谷歌眼镜来影响世界。
上个月，Eaze创业公司发布点头支付。这个程序允许谷歌眼镜的配戴者进行比特币支付，以及对Blockchain和Coinbase用户钱包的支持。
评论：新闻追踪工具可以把新闻发布时间与市场波动挂钩，这个功能很符合谷歌的人工智能技术，也很有创意，确实是个利好消息。
Google Finance has launched a bitcoin price tracker, offering market information across several major fiat currencies as well as access to breaking news in the digital currency world.
Users can access prices in BTC/USD markets, as well as prices in pound sterling, yen, euro, renminbi, Australian dollar and Canadian dollar markets.
The tool also enables review of historical prices dating back to June 2013.
Additionally, the Google Finance bitcoin tool enables for quick BTC-fiat conversions. Notably, this feature allows for calculations across dozens of currencies such as the Yemeni rial and the Bangladeshi taka.
The move comes hot on the heels of the Yahoo! Finance bitcoin price listing. In addition, Bloomberg also opted to add bitcoin prices to its terminals in late April.
CoinDesk reached out to Google for comment on the decision, but did not receive an immediate response.
Simple design
The layout in Google Finance is simple, allowing for easy navigation without many bells and whistles.
Users can list multiple fiat currencies against the price of bitcoin, and the tools news tracker pegs the timing of news releases with the fluctuations in the market.
The tool bears many similarities to Yahoo! Finances tool, though it utilizes different layout schemes for graphs and news tickers. However, Yahoo! Finance does not offer bitcoin price conversions to other currencies.
Google strengthens ties with bitcoin
The new tool is perhaps the most direct integration with some aspects of bitcoin on Googles part. In the past, members of Googles leadership have intimated that, in time, the search giant will come to accept bitcoin in some capacity.
In March, Jared Cohen, Googles director of ideas, remarked at the SXSW conference in Austin, Texas, that digital currencies are inevitable. At the same time, he wondered aloud if bitcoin itself would prove to be the top digital currency or the blueprint for many to come.
On the technology side, bitcoin may find a place within Googles sphere of influence via Google Glass.
Last month, a startup called Eaze announced Nod to Pay. This app allows wearers of Google Glass to make payments in bitcoin, with wallet support for Blockchain and Coinbase users.
