While it looks like it's all bad news for Bitcoin, there have been reports that ICE, an NYSE patent company, is making arrangements to launch an exchange that will give traders the opportunity to swap contracts and get their hands on Bitcoins within 24 hours.
Hopefully, the launch may help Bitcoin shake off the bears.
