Earlier this spring... Nasdaq CEO Adena Fritoman suggested that the stock exchange could develop a cryptocurrency exchange platform at some point in the future, although she didn't specify when or exactly how that would take place.
Nasdaq has also published an article detailing 3 cryptocurrencies it believes to be the best bets going forward:
One of the first digital currencies that Nasdaq believes to have high potential is also the least prominent of the three. Stellar has experienced a wave of interest from investors and crypto enthusiasts alike thanks to recent developments in the OKEx exchange in Hong Kong, according to the Nasdaq report detailed by cryptodaily. The prominent global stock exchange believes that stellar also has potential due to its partnership with IBM which allows for the development of "a platform to enable cross-border transfers," a goal shared by many digital currencies.
The second digital currency Nasdaq singled out was litecoin. The exchange wrote that one of the major factors tipped to drive momentum to litecoin's value is Blocknet's announcement that LTC will soon function as a crossblockchain decentralized app.
Finally.... Nasdaq pointed to perennial favorite digital currency bitcoin as a cryptocurrency likely to rise. Interestingly, Nasdaq pointed to the recent Consensus conference in NY as a primary driver of this; in hindsight, Consensus was viewed by many as a lackluster event this year. Nonetheless, bitcoin remains the largest digital currency by market cap, the most prominent on exchanges around the world and the most popular among investors of all types.
I hope you have these chromos in your album;)
Seriously... if Nasdaq supports a plataform to trade crypto's it means "Good Game" for Bitcoin
