Can it be quoted on a "stock" exchange? As it isn't a stock, you can guess the answer. However, there was a tradition of quoting all sorts of things unofficially on the old London Stock Exchange, so maybe there are some private listings. Don't forget that there is a Bitcoin futures market, and that is intended to be used by Bitcoin price speculators ( and the pumpers and dumpers ).

Most are only Bitcoin-related or at the very most are companies that pool investments to buy and manage Bitcoin for you. I understant there could be a market for people who don't understand or have the time or desire to learn how to buy or store their own Bitcoin... but I cannot comprehend how the stock premiums are more attractive.
So technically... you can't quote Bitcoin. Is Bitcoin a stock? - No Can it be quoted on a "stock" exchange? As it isn't a stock, you can guess the answer.

Yeah, Sweden's been offering Bitcoin derivatives for years. I recall trying to do a bit of research about this some time last year but I never got back responses from the people I contacted so didn't pursue it. Yes, that's a disclaimer for the info I'm sharing here. https://xbtprovider.com/#product is a sample of such a product... you get all the same information. The cert is actually a Bitcoin tracker, this was the first product offered and still trades on Nasdaq Stockholm. Unlike the US futures, they hold coins equal to value of certs issued.

Or why is it that you want Bitcoin to be subjected to the rules of the present day financial system when it has an automated system already in place. Besides stock market closes their operation after four to eight hours of trading while Bitcoin network doesn't have holidays, breaks, and suspension of operation which allows everyone to get their fair share of trading. If you wake up in the middle of the night you can trade Bitcoins. Since it does not close for the day. |
