I spoke to a TD Ameritrade rep not too long ago. The rep told me there will soon be a press release regarding TD A's position with regards to Bitcoin. So now here it is https://www.investopedia.com/news/td-ameritrade-and-ally-invest-offer-bitcoin-futures/
That being said ... you gotta wonder if these players are now in it only to sabotage the cryptocurrency in the end. I hear you when you said banks and governments don't want this to succeed because they have no control over the virtual monies :-/
So could these bitcoin futures be a conspiracy to destroy the BC and cryptocurrencies in general?!
