Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) stock is a hot topic among traders today after Alphabet’s (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google announced that it was teaming up with the crypto exchange.

The big news here is that Google is adding support for customers to pay for their cloud services with crypto. In these cases, Coinbase will handle the exchanges. However, Google says this feature will only be available to select customers starting next year.

The system will make use of Coinbase Commerce, which currently supports 10 cryptocurrencies. If all goes well with this initial launch, Google intends to allow more customers to pay for cloud services with crypto. The company is also considering ways to use Coinbase Prime with its services.

Coinbase Will Switch Some Services to Google

As part of this agreement, Coinbase will be switching away from Amazon’s (NASDAQ:AMZN) Amazon Web Services for applications. Instead, it will now make use of Google Cloud for certain data-based apps.

While COIN stock initially shot higher in Tuesday morning trading, shares are currently down 1.4% from yesterday’s close. In addition to that, the deal isn’t inspiring strong trading volume, with only 5 million shares on the move. For comparison, the daily average trading volume for COIN is closer to 13 million shares.
