Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Inc. is rolling out a new feature that will allow customers in Europe to cash out their crypto coins for digital gift cards.

The firm is partnering with London-based startup WeGift to give users the option to convert virtual currency into gift cards from more than 120 retailers. The program will initially only be available to customers in the U.K., Spain, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Australia, though Coinbase ultimately plans to expand into other countries.
