Pitcairn in the stock market "Wall Street" for the first time

A regulatory body for the first time gave a green light on Friday to CME Group on Wall Street to start issuing futures contracts denominated in digital currency.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the main federal trading regulator, agreed to trade the company with the futures contracts after six weeks of discussions, the Associated Press reported.

The company, the owner of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, said it would begin trading Futures contracts from December 18, to be traded for the first time on Wall Street.

In its new step, the company is complying with a process known as self-certification under which it undertakes not to violate any of the federal securities laws when trading in that currency
