Nasdaq, one of the largest stock exchanges is now considering becoming a cryptocurrency exchange in a well-regulated market.

News of this type suggests that people with big money are trying to warm up the market. As they say, summer is approaching - it's time to make profit)

Seems outrageous that the biggest and most respected stock exchange in the world is considered something like this.
But on the other hand why should they miss out on big opportunity to profit and offer the most popular cryptos for exchange possibly with help of some-kind of financial instrument.

oh no, why they cannot keep their secrets) hahaha everyone want to have a peace of growing pie called "cryptocurrency".

I guess crypto is just too hard to resist. This is a good thing though. It's an indication that the winds are shifting in favor of the the cryptos. Them adapting, means that survival means accepting acknowledging cryptos. Additionally, more exchanges means more competitive prices! hopefully.

Nasdaq is one of the most innovative companies around and they don't want just standing by as the world of cryptocurrency is doing its parade spewing profits as it passes by. These people are aware of the marketplace and they know there is a big money that can be made in cryptocurrency exchange. They just have to look at Binance to see how good is this new industry. And I believe it is not just Nasdaq that is thinking of the same...there are now many other stock exchanges in other parts of the world that are already planning to put up a separate division to handle cryptocurrency. This is telling us that cryptocurrency market is already here to stay...there can be some "violent" changes as months are rolling by but the industry will withstand those changes and can easily be adoptive.

Cryptocurrency will be strong with this. And maybe we can expect more adoption. I would like to send cryptocurrency tip via facebook xD

This is mainly a way to cash in on a buzzword and appear innovative. Also I'm pretty confident they will do anything to make a profit.

What an amazing picture! As for the main topic, this is amazing news, because you can buy cryptocurrencies for fiat money. But will the US regulator allow to take this step? That is the main question!

Big companies that are financially capable are joining in the trend into becoming Cryptocurrency Exchange due to the growing population of people who are into cryptos. I see this as bad, somehow, because they are capitalizing on the fact that they earn through small-time investors. The larger they expand, the littler its clients become because the former can be giant cartels in the long run, leaving the latter at the mercy of these cartels. This is why the disparity between both parties grows more and more the longer the business operates. This, then, can be compared to that of giant gasoline companies.

They knew that cryptocurrency trading is getting popular so they don't want to miss the money that will be earned from here. Some of the regulated exchanges are already offering crypto trading so for them to offer it is a good move to be not left behind. Eventually, other countries with their own local stock exchanges would offer crypto trading as an alternative to stocks. Crypto trading then would be regulated because traders need to do KYC the same as trading with stocks but this is to be expected as more people and institutions wants to get involved with it and they just want to protect the traders and investors. As what you said, we have to be ready to violent changes but aren't we already at a violent stage now?


We are on our way to mass adoption which is good news because eventually cryptocurrencies would be use for their actual use as more people join. Bitcoin then may find its stability and will be use more as payment option rather than an investment.

That is a good news . Nasdaq is well reputed and will be definitely influencing other stock market exchanges too .
I have seen that most of the stock market exchanges has sort of hatred for bitcoin and other crypto currencies since ot is always seen like a threat to them . But very few companies like Nasdaq are able to consider it as an opportunity rather than a threat . Starting an another exchange would only be benefiting them.
