      "body": "![photo-1541410702738-f87a5449e456.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPNuCLLCzN62jMGXP6jtHBcY7pmwWpwm3qK4yYaWS2o6w/photo-1541410702738-f87a5449e456.png)\n\n\nThe big auditing company KPMG presented a new study, in which it concluded that cryptocurrency will take a lot of time to gain savings status, and the institutionalization of the industry will be a turning point.\n\n \n\nIn a study titled “Institutionalization of cryptocurrency assets,” analysts explain that assets like Bitcoin (BTC) will not soon become a full-fledged medium of exchange or savings due to insufficient level of trust in them, as well as due to problems with scalability. In order for the situation to change, the cryptocurrency industry needs to go through a stage of institutionalization.\n\n“The participation of a wider range of financial companies will help the tokenized economy to earn the necessary level of confidence and scalability, and also contributes to the growth and maturity of the cryptocurrency market,\"-Constance HunterKPMG Chief Economist \n\n \nInstitutionalization of the researchers called the large-scale involvement in the cryptocurrency business of financial and technological companies, banks, payment organizations, exchanges and brokers-dealers. The participation of such significant players will ensure the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies and confirm their ability to eliminate the shortcomings of the modern global economic system.\n\n \n\nAccording to the authors of the study, today the cryptocurrency market is going through hard times: the number of speculations at the retail level is still large. Individual entrepreneurs are betting on the potential benefits of cryptocurrency, and not on what it actually gives, which increases the likelihood of risk. In addition, the cryptocurrency industry is only partially regulated so far, which also makes it unsafe.\n\n \n\nResearchers at KPMG point out that reaching agreement with regulators is indeed a daunting task for the cryptocurrency community, but cryptocurrency companies need to make it clear to regulators what product they are doing. As soon as the legal aspect of this business becomes clear and unambiguous, it will become much easier for large financial organizations to enter the industry.\n\n \n\nApparently, the stage of institutionalization for the cryptocurrency industry is already close. So, Coinbase crypto birth has already received permission to create a custodial service for cryptocurrencies in the territory of the State of New York, which means that institutional investors can be confident in the legal reliability of this service. And the summer report of the independent rating agency ICORating showed that institutional investments in the ICO market have increased dramatically.\n\n\n \n“Large organizations have a different set of requirements than retail consumers. For them, transparency, legal compliance and government regulation are important in order to comfortably carry out transactions with cryptocurrencies,\" \n\n\nIn conclusion, the KPMG researchers noted that despite all the difficulties, the cryptocurrency industry has a bright future. In their opinion, the use of cryptocurrency will become the norm in the future. But, of course, this will happen only when financial institutions can engage in cryptocurrency activities without fear of risk, and the regulation of the industry will become reasonable and transparent.\n\n\n“… new business models and market participants can significantly redefine the industry in the next few years,” the researchers concluded.\"\n\n\n\nWhat are your thoughts?

The expert said that the first cryptocurrency may take weeks or even months to recover from a sharp fall to a new annual minimum of $5480.\n\n \n\nThe key support level that the specialist is talking about is at the level of $6000. In addition to digital money (the market capitalization dropped to $180 billion, although in January 2018 it exceeded $830 billion), the shares of companies associated with the blockchain industry, such as Japanese SBI Holdings and Monex Group, also fell.\n\n \n\nTrader eWarrant Japan Securities KK Soichiro Tsutsumi stressed that the market situation is extremely unfavorable. He noted that because of this, many companies may lose customers.\n\n\n“The mark of $6000, which many for a long time perceived as the bottom, broke through, this is an alarming sign. Most of all, companies whose business models are designed for a pool of customers may suffer, including due to fears that the influx of new users will cease to increase,\" -Tsutsumi Said\n\n\nOn the evening of November 14, the cost of Bitcoin began to decline sharply, the next day, in the afternoon, the average market rate of the first cryptocurrency set an annual minimum of $5480. Most digital money lost from 10-20% per day, and the XRP token climbed to second place in the list of the largest blockchain projects in terms of capitalization, ahead of Ethereum.",

      "body": "![imf-chief-asks-world-to-seize-opportunity-of-global-recovery.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSLFncXuey2NdFSdjccySu2N3HK83fKS1pvWVrfKyTmoA/imf-chief-asks-world-to-seize-opportunity-of-global-recovery.jpg)\n\n\n\nBitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are changing the financial world. Christine Lagarde responded to this phenomenon in her speech in Singapore. The Director-General of the International Monetary Fund discussed ways in which the IMF could respond to digital transformation.\n\n \n\nChristine Lagarde made a conciliatory tone last year when it came to rating Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. It was above all the pressure on central banks, which can emanate from cryptocurrencies, which Lagarde emphasized. The head of the International Monetary Fund also highlighted the opportunities that cryptocurrencies can offer to economically depressed countries – we reported. In her recent speech, she suggested using these benefits – for a digital central bank money.\n\n\n![Digital-Economy1.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRvqkuejVwpSxxMeVA7hgFmA3iYV32WhVwt1MCMpJY9Yn/Digital-Economy1.png)\n\nThe Wind Of Digitization\n\nSo Christine Lagarde reiterated the change that digital currencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple bring to the world. In that sense, she even spoke of a wind of digitization, which wreaks through the world:\n\n“A new wind is blowing, that of digitization. In this new world, we meet everywhere, anytime. The marketplace is back – virtually on our smartphones. We exchange information, services, even emojis, directly …. Peer to peer, person to person.\"\n\nAnd all this wind, at least to a large extent, comes from the changing financial technology. Lagarde continues:\n\n“We are moving through a world of information where data is the ‘new gold’ despite growing privacy and cybersecurity concerns. A world in which Millennial reinvent the functioning of our economy; with the phone in hand. And that’s the key to everything: the money itself is changing. We expect it to be more convenient and user-friendly, while perhaps it looks a lot less dubious.\"\n\n\n\nCash Vs Bitcoin\n\nFinally, in this world, cash loses its meaning:\n\n“What role will cash play in this digital world? Already you can see signs in the shop windows, which say: ‘Cash not accepted’. […] Who exchanges paper in ten, twenty or thirty years? […] Even cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple are competing for a place in the cashless world and constantly reinventing themselves, hoping to offer more stable value and faster and cheaper settlement.\"\n\n![UKs-Central-Bank-Terminates-Plans-to-Roll-Out-its-Own-Digital-Currency-678x381.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYZLeqVgEoUCRouJiwcQYc9t7VquNfth9jHexSazc9RSw/UKs-Central-Bank-Terminates-Plans-to-Roll-Out-its-Own-Digital-Currency-678x381.jpg)\n\n\nThe Role Of Central Banks\n\nBut Christine Lagarde does not trust peace so much. It remains true to its 2017 rationale: while cryptocurrencies offer their benefits, the technology is not yet fully developed. So pure faith in technology is not enough, you need a central publisher.\n\n“Cryptocurrencies, for their part, try to anchor confidence in technology. As long as they are transparent – and you yourself are technically savvy – you can trust their services. Nevertheless, I’m not entirely convinced. Proper regulation of these units will remain a pillar of trust.\"\n\nSo what is the solution that the IMF boss suggests? A central body that regulates Bitcoin. Can not exist. Therefore, Lagarde is considering the possibility of attempting to issue cryptocurrencies by central banks:\n\n“In my opinion, we should consider the possibility of issuing digital currencies. There may be a role for the state in providing money for the digital economy. This currency could meet public policy objectives such as financial inclusion, security and consumer protection and provide the private sector with what it can not do: data protection in payments.\"\n\n\n\nNew IMF Paper Discusses The Role Of Bitcoin\n\nIn the end, Lagarde uses the new IMF paper to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of central banks’ cryptocurrencies. It says:\n\n“Cryptocurrencies differ in many dimensions and have difficulty meeting the currency requirements, in part because of their unpredictable valuation. Examples are Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple. These currencies are not subject to the liability of an institution and are not hedged by assets. Their value is usually volatile, as most of them have rigid emission rules.\"\n\nBoth Lagarde and the paper of the IMF conclude that digital central bank money will surely come.\n\n![5a378d82fc7e9304698b4567.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXUwh8Nm9a2Dxf3DPEq2ot2dDuzS2EwrneqJNJJJofoFn/5a378d82fc7e9304698b4567.jpg)\n\n\nWhat Awaits Us\n\nWell, this will not change for Bitcoin users. It will take some time until the turnaround comes. Until then, it will be interesting to see if cryptocurrencies can ultimately emerge as an alternative in their development. Ultimately, this will be a digital representation of the current system. Prof. Dr. Fabian Schär from the University of Basel, author of a paper, on the subject:\n\n“Electronic central bank money will come and I generally welcome this development. But you should be aware that these are not cryptocurrencies in the true sense. All projects that I know use essentially a centralized database and restrict access to some extent to a non-negligible extent.\"\n\nCentralized Central Bank Money\n\nThe digital form of centrally issued money is ultimately the counterpart to a decentralized monetary system like Bitcoin. The IMF is therefore trying to exploit the benefits of cryptocurrencies while continuing the existing system.\n\n\nWhat are your thoughts?

However, the report makes it clear that there is even more need for clear guidelines and detailed rules to attract more investors to the area. The report shows that a total of 388 cryptocurrency companies can be found in the area. It seems that the main reason for this growth has to do with the presidential decree, or decree, which was taken about 10 months ago.\n\n \n\nDecree №8 was signed last year by President Lukashenko. The decision is aimed at the development of the digital economy. One of the main goals was to attract foreign high-tech companies to the former Soviet republic. The decree that legalizes crypto-related activities such as exchanges, Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) and cryptocurrency-mining (exclusively for entities registered in Belarus Hi-Tech Park) has been identified as the driving force behind the rapid growth of this region. Has been going through lately.\n\n \n\nA good example of a popular and successful crypto company in the Hi-Tech Park is Aetsoft: a blockchain development company that has been providing services to ICOs and decentralized exchanges since 2014. The company has customers all over the world.\n\n\nWhat are your thoughts?

The entrepreneur told about this during an interview in the Crypto Trader program on CNBC.\n\n \nOver the past year, the cryptocurrency market has lost more than 70% of the cost. It was the fourth largest market correction in its entire ten-year history. According to Zhao, trading volume at Binance decreased by 90% over this period.\n\n\n“Compared with January, we lost 90%. We have only one tenth of the volume of trades that we had then. But, if we compare it with a year or two earlier, we still trade in large volumes. Our business is in order, we still have profits and are doing healthy business,\" -Zhao Shared\n\n\nHe also said that the exchange has new users every day and, accordingly, the amount of funds on cold Binance wallets increases. Zhao called this growth stable. Binance is one of the main sources of information for cryptocurrency aggregators, such as CoinMarketCap and CryptoCompare.\n\n \nHowever, such large exchanges as Binance still have grounds for concern. A recent study by analytics firms Digital Assets Research and the TABB Group has shown that over-the-counter (OTC) trading volume has grown significantly lately. Today, the OTC-market is twice as large as the exchange market, which is associated with the arrival of institutional investors, who prefer to enter the cryptocurrency sphere in this way.\n\n“From 1 to 1.5 million bitcoins (BTC) is traded on the over-the-counter market every day. It is strange that this is not visible on the blockchain, which shows meager 100,000 BTC per day, ”- Analyst Eric Wall Commented \n\n\nIn general, the daily trading volume in the cryptocurrency market is approximately $ 11.7 billion as of November. This is significantly less than it was in January, however, if we take into account the volume of the over-the-counter market, the above figure increases to $ 23.4 billion.\n\n“I heard that the OTC market is at least equal to the exchange market. So, at least 50% of the cryptocurrency trading volume does not affect the CoinMarketCap. But we are not moving in this direction, so we don’t know the real volumes,\" -Zhao Said\n\n\nThe head of Binance suggested that in the coming months the cryptocurrency market will start to grow, and another rally may be caused, for example, by such a positive event as the start of Bitcoin futures trading on Bakkt.\n\n\nWhat are your thoughts?

He plans to provide cryptocurrency exchanges and investment funds with virtual safes, so-called deposit cells, where they could safely store their digital assets. According to the representative of VersaBank, the bank has already received more than 200 inquiries about VersaVault.\n\n“While the majority are only exploring the possibility of creating digital deposit cells, we have developed them. And now we are engaged in the commercialization of the first-of-its-kind service that will provide our customers with absolute confidentiality using the most advanced security and authentication technologies in the world,\"-CEO Of VersaBank David Taylor\n\n\n\nFounded in 1980, VersaBank does not have physical branches, and customer service is carried out exclusively online. The bank mainly provides deposit services. The idea to create a service VersaBank told last January, and in March, an agreement was signed with two clients for the beta version.

The company also worked on the project Gurpreet Sahota, which in the past was engaged in the development of the internal structure and external interfaces of the products of the manufacturer of Blackberry smartphones.\n\n\n“Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are quickly gaining popularity. Their owners have already experienced firsthand how easily their valuable reserves can easily disappear from unsafe digital repositories, representatives of VersaBank explained when presenting the project.\"-Explained VersaBank Representatives\n\n\nRecently, more offers for storing cryptocurrency funds began to appear on the market. In September, US regulators gave permission to launch a custodial service to store BitGo’s digital assets.\n\n\nWhat are your thoughts?

In technological use, underestimated. Today blockchain is a great platform for Bitcoin (BTC) and other currencies. And it is a great platform for private banking transactions where people do not trust each other.\"-Eric Schmidt\n\n\nSchmidt is mainly enthusiastic about Ethereum (ETH) and believes that it can be a revolution for business and society:\n\n“I think the most interesting things that are happening right now are the start of actions on the blockchain – the most obvious example is the ability of Ether. And if Ethereum manages to find a way to achieve global synchronization, it is a pretty powerful platform. That is really an invention.\"-Eric Schmidt\n\n\nIt was already known that Schmidt is a fan of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. In 2014 Schmidt spoke about Bitcoin and already saw enormous potential:\n\n“Bitcoin is a remarkable cryptography performance. The ability to make something that is not replicated in the digital world has tremendous value. The Bitcoin architecture – literally the ability to have ledgers that can not be replicated – is amazing progress. Many people will build companies there.\"-Eric Schmidt\n\n\nEric Schmidt came into contact with Bitcoin in 2011 when Julian Assange from Wikileaks introduced it to him. Assange told Schmidt that he should purchase Bitcoin:\n\n“You should be an ‘early adopter’ because your Bitcoins will be worth a lot of money one day\"-Eric Schmidt\n\n\nNot that the ex-CEO needs money since he has a net worth of $13.4 billion, but it made him feel interested in technology.\n\n \n\nRecently, the current CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai and co-founder Sergey Brin said,  that their sons are Ethereum miners.\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEH3j7AINwU\n\n\n\nWhat are your thoughts?

The participating countries were: France, Indonesia, Malaysia, Ireland, Romania, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, Lithuania, Poland, the United Kingdom and South Africa.\n\n \n\nResearch, which mainly focuses on South Africa, shows that 69% of the respondents in South Africa are familiar with Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency and that 29% own crypto. That is higher than the figures from European countries. Indonesia and Malaysia also score high. Of the Indonesian respondents, 63% is familiar with it and 40% has crypto. 57% of them are known in Malaysia and 39% indicate crypto.\n\n \n\nIn comparison, Germany scores a lot lower. Although 49% of German respondents are familiar with crypto, only 9% reported having it. France did a little better with 37% recognition and 19% possession. Italy is in between with 50% awareness and 14% ownership.\n\n \n\nThe Dutch do the best among European countries. Although the familiarity with crypto among the Dutch is relatively low (39%), 27% has indicated that they have crypto. In Lithuania, they seem to be most familiar with crypto, as many as 81% indicate knowing what it is. On the other hand, only 3.8% of Lithuanians said they owned digital currency\n\n \n\nResults of the research indicate that the European respondents are reluctant when it comes to the adoption of crypto. They indicate that they know too little about it. Respondents from South Africa, Indonesia and Malaysia, however, indicate that they have enough information and are confident enough to buy crypto.\n\n \n\nThe research results also show that among South African owners, 83% view cryptocurrencies as a long-term investment. This compared with 23% who use crypto to make purchases online. But 12% use crypto to transfer money to family or friends.\n\n \n\nLuno is operational in Europe, South East Asia, Nigeria and South Africa. Marius Reitz, manager of the exchange in South Africa, says that Luno is in talks with banks and regulators to expand in Africa, but did not want to elaborate on which countries.\n\n\n\nWhat are your thoughts?

They led the Kraken exchange, reports the NextWeb portal. The most risky for investors were the platforms OKEx, Huobi Pro and CoinCheck.\n\n \n\nGroup-IB, together with the CryptoIns platform, has developed the world’s first system for evaluating the effectiveness of insuring digital assets that are stored on major trading floors. When developing this product, the risk of committing fraudulent attacks and software hacking were taken into account, as well as the likelihood of the illegal actions of the stock exchange employees that could lead to the theft of traders’ funds.\n\n \n\nThe insurance system analyzes such criteria as the level of technical security, the reliability of storing keys, passwords and personal data of users that the exchange places on its servers. In addition, the software analyzes the actions of the exchange in the field of combating money laundering and identifying new users.\n\n \n\nHaving studied the policy of administration of trading platforms in the field of risk management, the Group-IB company concluded that the Kraken cryptocurrency exchange currently provides users with the best solutions to ensure the safety of their funds.\n\n \n\nIn addition, this marketplace provides the cheapest services for the insurance of funds with a tariff of about 1.25%. That is, to insure one Bitcoin stored on Kraken, you need to pay only 0.0125 Bitcoin for 90 days of insurance. Bittrex and Coinbase ranked second and third in terms of safety and cost of insurance, which offer customers a rate of 1.5%. At MyEtherWallet and Poloniex, the digital asset insurance rate is 1.9%.\n\n \n\nIn early September, it was reported that the Kraken cryptocurrency exchange faced problems due to a breach of the platform’s security service. However, the administration of the trading platform promptly responded to these rumors with a statement that there were no security problems, and the exchange was operating normally.\n\n\n\nWhat are your thoughts?

CoinDesk writes with reference to the report on the financial stability of the regulatory agency for 2018.\n\n \n\nIn it, the PBoC writes that the “hidden” initial coin placements (ICO), presented as airdrops, continue to flourish, despite previous attempts to cope with China’s illegal distribution of tokens.\n\n \n\nAs one of the stages of the process, cryptocurrency firms move abroad and attract agents to invest on behalf of Chinese citizens, writes PBoC. Other projects do not sell tokens to directly collect money from the general public, but distribute them for free. Then they try to raise their price in the secondary market in order to benefit for themselves, the bank claims.\n\n \n\nBased on the available statistics, PBoC concluded that out of 65 ICOs that were held in China before July 18, 2017, only five ended before 2017. 105,000 people took part in the ICO, providing a total of 2.6 billion yuan ($ 377.3 million), representing more than 20% of the amount collected worldwide during this period.\n\n \n\nThe Central Bank of China argues that it must remain extremely vigilant and cooperate with other departments to track activity in the cryptocurrency industry and protect investors.\n\n \n\nThe People’s Bank of China took measures to limit fundraising through the ICO in September 2017, completely banning them. In June of this year, the PBoC Vice Governor confirmed that cryptocurrency trading remains an illegal activity in China, while noting that the activity related to the ICO has gone underground.\n\n \n\nIn August, the China National Internet Currency Association (NIFA), a self-regulatory organization founded by PBoC, added “token sales” as a separate category of illegal activity that citizens can report.\n\n\nWhat are your thoughts?

      "body": "![morgan-stanley-senior-bankers-are-leaving.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmT4iXAPx2XhAU2AAAADPVQK67Ng8ZSoo18FF2Wx2UhAcA/morgan-stanley-senior-bankers-are-leaving.jpg)\n\nInstitutional investors are increasingly entering the market for bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies — this is the conclusion of the report of the banking giant Morgan Stanley. While the number of retail investors remains at the same level, Bitcoin is turning into a “new institutional asset class”.\n\n\nIn a work dated October 31, titled “Deciphered Bitcoin: A Short Handbook and Conclusions,” experts at the research unit of a financial organization reviewed the dynamics of leading cryptocurrency over the past six months and pointed to characteristic trends.\n\n\nIn particular, the document emphasizes the high rate of “transformation” of an asset: defining Bitcoin as a “cryptocurrency” and noting that investors completely trust it, the authors recognize its rapid evolution. So, from a tool for solving problems of the modern financial system, it has already become a separate payment system and, ultimately, has become a new class of institutional investment.\n\n\nAccording to experts, the way the transformation process took place was due to a number of factors, both positive and negative, the authors considered the influence of such aspects as the permanent entry in the register of all transactions, a number of hacker attacks, hard forks, new technologies that are cheaper than Bitcoin, market volatility and more.\n\n\nThe current definition given by the leading cryptocurrency group of researchers is “the new institutional asset class,” and, moreover, according to the findings of the report, this state of affairs persists for almost a year. Morgan Stanley says: the number of crypto active assets under management has grown significantly since January 2016 — currently hedge funds, as well as venture and private equity companies, keep crypto assets worth $7.11 billion.\n\n\nLarge financial institution increasingly support this development, as evidenced by the decision to create a custodial service made by Fidelity, investments collected by many companies in the industry, including the results of the recent investment round of Coinbase, and certain changes in the regulatory sphere — for example, approval that got the projects BitGo and Coinbase.\n\n\nThe authors of the report also point out three problems that have hitherto been encountered by clients who want to invest in crypto space: regulatory uncertainty, lack of regulated custodial solutions, and an insufficient number of large financial institutions in the space.\n\n\nTrading With The Stable Coins Is Gaining Momentum\n\n\nSpecialists of the bank separately stop at the situation with stable coins, which are a kind of attempt to create a form of price stability. At the same time, they emphasize: you should pay attention to the growing role of such currencies — Bitcoin is increasingly trading against the dollar-linked Tether USDT asset. Half of all bitcoin trading at the moment is against another cryptocurrency, something that was traced last year, partly because many cryptocurrency exchanges do not accept fiat currencies, finally became a trend.\n\n\n“The USDT has taken on an increasing share of the BTC trading volume as soon as the cryptocurrency rates began to decline. This happened because many exchanges trade only in the crypto-crypto mode, and not the crypto-Fiat. Trading Fiat requires passing through the banking sector, with a higher commission charged. When the bitcoin rate fell, as did the other coins, the owners who wanted to withdraw from the bitcoin investment had to go into another asset that was closer to the value of the US dollar”  -The document says.\n\n\nMorgan Stanley notes, crypto startups are now trying to take advantage of the trend, exchanges and other companies are developing their own stable coins as “part of the next wave of development.” The latest examples include the Gemini Exchange and the Circle startup.\n\n\nHowever, the authors of the study do not expect to see all the “stable coins” in the past tested time: only those with “the lowest transaction costs, the highest liquidity, and the established regulatory structure” can be widely distributed.\n\n\nRecall, Morgan Stanley announced the possibility of clearing bitcoin futures contracts and the potential development of other areas within the industry in January of this year.",

The future of the Bitcoin remains uncertain, but that does not stop the most adventurous speculation with the cryptocurrency and the giants of Wall Street prepare the ground for heavier investors.\n\n \n\nThe Bitcoin is not exchanged in the form of coins or bills that can be used to buy bread, such as the dollar, or metal that can be transformed into jewelry such as gold . Nor is it produced by a company whose stock is listed on the stock exchange or is linked to the reputation of a State. But it is exchanged for money.\n\n \n\nDriven by euphoria at the end of 2017, the Bitcoin reached almost $ 20,000 per coin. Then he went down to get currently about $ 6,400. This fall may seem overwhelming . But the extreme volatility of the cryptocurrency, upwards or downwards, generates smiles among some brokers that prosper generating short-term gains.\n\n \n\nOther investors sincerely estimate that the bitcoin will appreciate over time. And for this, they have at their disposal a range of tools, more or less risky.\n\n \n\nThe most direct way is to buy all or part of a Bitcoin on specialized platforms . The holders of these assets are exposed to the risk of virtual theft, since the platforms are regularly victims of hacking.\n\n \n\nThe arrival in late 2017 of forward contracts on several stock exchanges in addresses such as the Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe) brought a new degree of legitimacy.\n\n \n\nThis solution, which consists of betting on the future price of the Bitcoin, avoids holding them directly. But it is mostly used by professional investors.\n\n \n\nIt is also possible to place the money in investment portfolios composed exclusively of Bitcoins , such as the Bitcoin Investment Trust managed by the Grayscale company. But this product, reserved for a certain category of investors, is negotiated only directly and with high costs.\n\n \n\nThe grail expected by the Bitcoin supporters is the arrival of exchange-traded funds replicating the evolutions of the cryptocurrency, the ‘Bitcoins ETF’.\n\n \n\n” Your arrival is a priority for institutional investors,” says Michael Graham, an analyst specializing in new technologies at Canaccord Genuity.\n\n \n\nThese investors, who manage billions of dollars for accounts in pension or insurance funds, are so far reluctant to place money in a potentially lucrative but still very risky asset.\n\n \n\nThey could be convinced if the authorities, by giving their approval to the ETF Bitcoins, give their legitimacy to the virtual currency still associated with the traffickers and a bubble ready to explode. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) does not show much agility.\n\n \n\nThe Winklevoss brothers, known for their participation in the beginnings of Facebook but also in their cryptocurrency platform, Gemini, had two refusals . All the other ETFs presented had the same destination. Each time, the SEC indicates that the Bitcoin is exchanged on platforms that are mostly unregulated and at risk of being manipulated.\n\nCaution\n\nFearful of not being able to generate many resources in an asset that is still not well known and poorly controlled, traditional financial actors advance with a foot of lead. Jamie Dimon, the director of the first US bank JPMorgan Chase, has been skeptical of several opportunities after having considered it in 2017 as a “fraud”. \n\n \n\nAmong the big Wall Street banks, since May Goldman Sachs has offered its services as compensation agents , without yet proposing its own products linked to the Bitcoin.\n\n \n\nSome went further. Fidelity Investment, one of the largest asset managers in the world, last week launched bitcoin brokerage services and deposits reserved for some “sophisticated” investors, such as hedge funds.\n\n \n\nICE, the head office of the New York Stock Exchange, should launch the Bakkt platform dedicated to cryptocurrency in Dovember.\n\n \n\nBut the problems on the platforms persist: lack of transparency, conflicts of interest, absence of firewalls.\n\n \n\n“As for everything, it takes time to reach maturity and with the arrival of additional institutional investors, I think we will arrive,” said Christopher Giancarlo, president of the agency responsible for regulating derivatives markets in the United States, to the chain Fox Business",

      "body": "![103680459-RTS8S6A.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUnHYRDgvu9mDjMRqqqdQ8kn1JiywjQW6JztWFBSsVFq3/103680459-RTS8S6A.jpg)\n\n\n\nYesterday Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) announced the launch date for the cryptocurrency trading site Bakkt. The launch will take place on December 12, 2018; at the same time, trading in bitcoin futures contracts will be open at the site. The exchange is currently awaiting approval by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).\n\n \n\nBitcoin futures will be the first ICE product related to cryptocurrencies. Futures BTCs will be placed in a special “storage” for digital assets, ICE Digital Asset Warehouse. Contract clearing will be done by another subsidiary of ICE, ICE Clear US. This company formally owns the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).\n\n \n\nWhen buying a Bitcoin futures contract, Bakkt sends one Bitcoin to the customer’s account – as a means of physical settlement:\n\n\n“Each futures contract establishes an obligation to pay one BTC from the stock of ICE Digital Asset Warehouse and will trade in dollar terms. Every day, as part of the normal working hours of the exchange, one contract will be put up for bidding, \" -Stated in the ICE announcement\n\n\nThe Bakkt settlement mechanism is different from the bitcoin futures solutions CME and CBOE, which support this type of product in fiat currencies. This decision provoked criticism of Bakkt and accusations of using “hidden leverage”; Company representatives reacted to these statements as follows:\n\n\n“The key element in establishing value is physical settlement. In particular, in the case of our decision, the purchase and sale of Bitcoins is fully secured or pre-funded. Thus, our bitcoin futures will not be traded at a premium, use leverage, or [later] be used as a paper claim to a real asset.\"\n\n\nFor the first time, ICE announced the opening of bitcoin futures trading and the establishment of Bakkt in August of this year. The platform was expected to start work in November; ICE did not mention the specific reasons for the transfer date.\n\n\n\nWhat are your thoughts?
