News : NASDAQ Rumoured to Be Listing Cryptocurrencies by Next Year

Hi Steemians,

The world's second biggest stock exchange by market capitalization, NASDAQ, is reportedly gearing up to list and support the trading of cryptocurrencies through a coin exchange platform. While the Cboe and CME listed cryptocurrency-based financial products in the form of Bitcoin futures back in 2017, the NASDAQ will, according to sources close to the action, list actual cryptocurrency.

The source, in a note to ICOJournal, suggested that NASDAQ will be moving quickly and work closely with regulators, explaining that:

The conversation around listing coins has centered on how they will be classified from a regulatory standpoint. As you can imagine, our leadership is closely connected to the rumbling at the SEC and CFTC around cryptos and what is expected over the next 3-6 months. Even with the longest of time frames assumed, some guidance will be provided and I expect we will act quickly...

Sources adds,

Doing the math here, look for regulatory bodies to provide guidance in Q1 of 2019, and an announcement and a ‘coin exchange’ to either be announced or launched in Q2 of 2019.
