Bitcoin Forum

I read an article in October 2018 that the Nasdaq is going to launch the bitcoin exchange, is it really possible?
If Nasdaq really opens the bitcoin exchange, how much do you expect the price of bitcoin to rise this year?

They haven't said that they will definitely launch an exchange, the CEO just said they would be open to the idea once more regulation is in place. I think I heard something about Gemini partnering up with the NASDAQ in 2018, but I'm not sure exactly what they will be doing. Regardless, it would be fantastic news to have these coins listed on the nasdaq. Bitcoin would surely blow up in price, as once this happens, adoption would be in full swing.

Yes rumours have been floating for a while now but there are many rumours floating around on bitcoin. I agree that if Nasdaq would pick up bitcoin it would be a huge deal. Keeping my fingers crossed over here even if i dont see it in the near future.

You know the half truth only! Nasdaq is not going to launch crypto exchanges anytime soon. It all happened during a TV interview with CNBC where Nasdaq CEO said that they are open to become a crypto exchange. However, no talks have been initiated till date for the same. The statement is certainly positive for the crypto market but far from becoming a reality. I have already posted a thread about it and I encourage you to read that here,

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3431844.0

Without a doubt that will be huge for BTC but everything is a rumors until we see a fact , You know crypto community have its special #1 rank in spreading false/unconfirmed rumors  whether it is positive or negative . SO I wont get my hopes really high unless there is official statement from nasdaq  them self  not just a cut parts from an interview or something like I heard that .

Still lots of hurdles for NASDAQ to become an active crypto exchange. They will be pressurized by lots of officials not to accept cryptocurrencies. I am just hoping that more and more real companies and industries start using them so that we get more market.

To be honest, I don't see it as a big deal. Even if Nasdaq did open up an exchange for Crypto coins (which they didn't yet)? I don't think this will bring a significant change in the price of Bitcoins, let alone huge changes. There are lots of exchanges and adding one more won't going to make much difference.

It is possible but don't get your hopes up too high. They also said last year they would have Bitcoin futures but they backtracked on that promise too. If they open an exchange sure that is a bullish sign, but again I will believe it when I see it.

why not ?
why would this be a case ?
everyone can launch a bitcoin exchange. even you may launch an exchange. it is just a business. why would this become a question ?!
but, yes, the Nasdaq name can affect bitcoin popularity and its price. but I don't think the price will rise significantly.

Have you came from the future here if you read an article in October 2018! Can you tell us the prices ;D

Fun aside, I do really think they will implement crypt sooner or later. Of course it is possible, if they see that demand is real, btw if you are following whats happening and where many more people are aware of crypto now and are willing to jump a board. If NASDAQ feel they are going to be left out with crypto, then of course they will try to follow it up. Same thing why some companies are looking into blockchain more seriously, because they don't want to be left behind. I think that they know the future is real for crypto, just  for big players such as NASDAQ it can take quite some time for all the pieces to fall in their place.

They've said nothing other than it being an interesting idea if crypto develops. That's no more meaningful than them saying they'll become an exchange for Taylor Swift's turds if she produces enough of them, the demand is there and the SEC regulates her anus.

It's really dull how crypto fans grab a vaguely interested noise and spin it into certifiable fact when it can be unverified with five seconds of reading.

i believe the official announcement was about bitcoin futures similar to what CME group did. they announced it shortly after CME group but their date was in mid 2018 if i recall correctly. this is the article i found:
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/23/nasdaq-looking-into-bitcoin-futures-different-to-rivals-ceo.html

in any case if they start a real bitcoin exchange then things may become somewhat better because i believe that regulated exchanges will increase the adoption because many people are still unwilling to get involved with bitcoin since the places where bitcoin is sold (current exchanges) are not regulated.

Well, the actual plan may be later than Oct if it's real. December I believe, trust me, I've experience in estimating the launch date haha

There are certainly things heating up between https://cointelegraph.com/news/winklevoss-twins-crypto-exchange-gemini-to-begin-block-trading-with-btc-eth and also https://www.investopedia.com/tech/crypto-what-are-nasdaq-winklevoss-twins/ ..If I can quote :

" the digital currency exchange announced a new partnership with Nasdaq in an effort to monitor markets."

"At the same time, Nasdaq CEO  Adena Friedman hinted at the possibility of the foundational stock exchange adopting cryptocurrencies at some point in the future, pending the stability of regulatory efforts that the industry has yet to see realized. The partnership has analysts and cryptocurrency enthusiasts wondering exactly what could be in store for Gemini and if this will be the move that cements the exchange's place as a major player in the crypto space."

Yes, I saw the news just the last two days, and I think it's real news. If Nasdag launched the service in October this year, it would certainly attract a lot of investment money into the market.

that is how cryptocurrency related news has always worked. nobody cares much about facts they only see the front and judge the book by the cover. additionally people have been programmed to only care about the possible effects of the news on the price instead of checking the validity of it. so whenever they read a news (positive or negative) the first thing they think about is "how will this affect the price?" and then based on the answer they act in the market => dump due to FUD and FOMO due to good news.

Sure, i have read some information about it. But it is only an offer of top managers of Nasdaq. But i believe they sooner or later will launch the BTCs trading.

Price could skyrocket this is going to be a big news for 2018, but why did you not put the article where you read that so to avoid gossip and speculation, people want to read or hear it coming straight from the horse's mouth, this is a good news that cannot be ignored.

I'm not so sure it will launch in the near future but I'm sure they'll launch it because they will realize what they should do
When crypto demand is higher NASDAQ or other stock exchanges will follow where the market demand will go or they will die

You are correct. And it's very depressing.

It's mind boggling to me that vast sums can be gained or lost because the masses are too stupid or lazy to read and/or interpret anything correctly. And to stay ahead of the game you have to put yourself in the shoes of the mentally sub par and figure out what they're going to do.

I think it's really and read this news too.
In the way bitcoin will rise up to 40-65K usd.
I hope that will be happen soon :)

Exactly, that's why I don't know if people are really that dumb or the reading comprehension of most people just went down when everyone gets into the crypto sphere. They would just read the headlines and say oh this is good news but if you will go and read the entire articles or news there's something inside beside the title itself. That's why its easy to create a lot of FUD around by just spinning the title itself and people are easily affected by it. We really need to read between the lines and interpret it in the a logical way.

I chance upon this news also. The price of btc should rise a few times more i believe once it is on Nasdaq the volume will definitely increase but will it be good more demand for bitcoin or bad price fluctuation for bitcoin is very unbelievable. I will hope it will be good for bitcoin when more demand for bitcoin by the traders. 

This is not yet final and for now this is just a rumor but if that happens just imagine how much value will be added to bitcoins price. Nasdaq is one of the biggest company in the world that deals with stocks exchange and if ever they will open a bitcoin exchange their reputation will also attract people who trust Nasdaq to venture into the world of cryptocurrency.

I've read the news about nasdaq's launch of cryptocurrency trading . it will come true in the near future . at that time , the priece of bitcoin would exceed $50000 . exciting . look forward to it .

BTC has already been used as a network gold, and it is not impossible for nasdaq to launch BTC, and the role of BTC is becoming more and more obvious.

I really do not know yet but if this really happens, I think that it will be a great plus for the whole market since it can obviously get the prices of bitcoins up which can influence the prices of other alts that may lead to the rising of other altcoins also that have great projects and great developers. Although i am not sure about the prices, I think that it is safe to say that it will be bigger than today's prices.

true, the issues and rumors about nasdaq that will be involved in the cryptocurrency market are being discussed a lot. but I am not sure that nasdaq will open bitcoin exchange any time soon. probably more to nasdaq that will work with other crypto companies. but this news is a good signal for the crypto community to survive the FUD that has been growing since the beginning of this year.

We should be careful about the nasdaq's news about listed BTC.

The premise is that in the case of regulation, the market is more mature, do not rule out the digital currency exchange!

No matter how BTC is already American futures!

additionally people have been programmed to only care about the possible effects of the news on the price instead of checking the validity of it.  nasdaq will open bitcoin exchange any time soon.

Many rumour about this from last year and still not happen in nasdaq except bitcoin futures. Now, new rumours on bitcoin is bitcoin tradedable on wallstreet and its not a futures and its using real bitcoin.
Hopely that will happen trading on wallstreet using real bitcoin and not futures because it will increasing transaction on bitcoin

if it could happen it might be expected the price would rise to 100percent again because that I heard like that, and hope the exchange could be allowed.

After CME announcements and uninterrupted public interest in Bitcoin, several financial institutions became optimistic about Bitcoin's future and began releasing Bitcoin-based investment and investment products.Nasdaq Inc decided to join in planning for a similar Bitcoin futures contract to be launched in the second quarter of 2018 according to the Wall Street Journal.

This is really very good news to re-generate market optimism that may now is too stable and lethargic for some people, maybe now is the right time to buy Bitcoin before the bigger hype and possibly we will meet with ATH in early next year, also the entry of new whale.

If this happens, I think not only bitcoin, all the coins will rise. Nasdaq is an important stock exchange and active user too much. It is said that it will be in October, but this may take a little longer.

this is the best news of late! this news will give a huge boost to the development of the entire crypto system! the addition of crypto currency pairs to exchanges means the consent of world influential people! they agree that bitcoin is an asset that can be traded! this is only the beginning of the planned development of the entire crypto market! Adding crypto pairs means attracting new big investors to this market! if large volumes enter this market, capitalization will grow and with it will grow and stand the bitcoin!

they are seeing big exchanges make lots of money in this trade if they lite an official exchange will be very good for community because people have seen with another look and will lose the fear of investing and I believe yes that reaches 100 k a day near future

If the Nasdaq gets bitcoin then that is a huge issue, and you should consider this because it seems to be just rumors.

The General Director said that they are open to cooperation and perhaps they implement a similar exchange with bitcoins. They said this information when the price of bitcoin was very high. And many investors could not use the services of a broker to make money on bitcoin. I know in California there is such a small group of brokers who solved this similar problem, unfortunately their activities in 2018 shut down, because they went from paying taxes. And if a large exchange implements its plans, then bitcoin can rise by 20-40%

The best news is that they released trading pairs! I heard the news that they want to buy a stock exchange or create one! this will very well affect the entire market! I see how serious the bulls with big money begin to connect! This will have a very positive effect on the entire market and on growth! we will follow the news and see how the market will unfold in the near future!

I think I heard something about Gemini's partnership with NASDAQ in 2018, but I'm not sure what they will do. Bitcoin will definitely increase the price, because once this happens, the application will completely disappear. Nasdaq will not launch the encrypted exchange anytime soon. However, no talks have been started until day for the same.

To be honest, I have not heard such news. And I think if it is true that the price of bitcoin could rise, because of the demand from traders on this platform. However, I can say that a large Bank in America Goldam Sachs announced this year its goals to create an exchange for its customers. They have even already formed such a Department for crypto investments. They do not want to miss the opportunity to get money from their investors and Bank customers.

This is a very good news and I am very happy to see this improving situation of bitcoin so I am very happy with this news, as I also know when bitcoin was in so much of controversy, though it is still in controversy but earlier it was in so much of controversy and everyone is just criticising bitcoin and no one was ready to approve it but now the era of bitcoin has started as many countries has legalised it, car companies has starting accepting bitcoin and then the NASDAQ is launching a bitcoin exchange.

If SEC approve ETFs trading for cryptocurrency, from what i am read, Nasdaq will launch bitcoin exchange. Its really exciting if nasdaq list bitcoin on their trading floor because nasdaq is one biggest market in the world

nasdaq will open an exchange i heard bitcoin will be trad-able there but if it's true it might boost bitcoin  so high . if nasdaq will open for trading for crypto-currency then people started to believe  more crypto currency more  and tried to learn  what is the use of crypto currency in daily use or how block chain function work's, more over the tokens is become like utility token which are useful for the project development.     

Hope bitcoin prices will increase this year. There will be a lot of people looking forward to this including me

I think this is just a rumor because there is no exact information about Nasdaq opening the bitcoin exchange. But if this is true, then I believe this news will greatly affect the price of Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market.

I agree with your opinion. If the ETF is accepted, the Nasdaq will open the bitcoin exchange, and I believe that other exchanges will accept Bitcoin, which will increase Bitcoin prices and I hope Bitcoin will reach $ 15,000 in October.

Everyone is hopeful that Bitcoin prices will increase dramatically this year, previously I do not believe Bitcoin prices will reach $ 30,000 this year. But now there is a lot of news coming out of Bitcoin, and I think the price of Bitcoin can be as high as what the experts predicted.

perhaps before this event will increase, but after it we can wait for the players on the downgrade)

very good news for the last few months! this is a very serious step towards recognizing bitcoins and other crypto coins as valuable assets! I hope that very many people who spoke ill of bitcoin will change their minds after this news!

Nasdaq Is Increasing Exchange Customers And Plans To Monitor Cryptocurrencies

Nasdaq Inc arranged a meeting between the experts of the company and cryptocurrency exchanges. The main motive of this closed-door
meeting is to improve the profile of cryptocurrencies in the markets worldwide.

The meeting was attended by the representatives from Gemini which is the exchange launched by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss in 2016. Gemini
also had a contract with Nasdaq Inc in April 2018 to utilize its SMARTS trade monitoring technology.

Security and preventing manipulative exchanging must be key contemplations for the Gemini trade as it gives a market cost of bitcoin for Cboe
Global's bitcoin-based prospects. Giving unmistakable value focuses to bitcoin (https://cointopper.com/coin/bitcoin) is a basic thought in whether the US Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) make the stride from permitting bitcoin-based fates, to at last favouring bitcoin-based trade exchanged assets (ETFs).

Nasdaq's SMARTS innovation screens continuous exchanging action and raises cautions with the trade on the off chance that it finds surprising exchanging action.

Bloomberg reports show Nasdaq Inc is presently attempting to ensure five cryptocurrency trades, however, Nasdaq is yet to affirm who three of the
new clients are. SBI Virtual Currencies is one trade presently likewise utilizing Nasdaq Inc's administrations.

Click Here (https://cointopper.com/news/nasdaq-is-increasing-exchange-customers-and-plans-to-monitor-cryptocurrencies) to know what Nasdaq representative affirmed to Bloomberg that the meeting occurred.

You seem to be choosing the wrong source of news or even misread. They will not open crypto exchanges as you think, their CEO says that he’s not close minded on crypto exchanges, this fosters optimism in the market but only optimism because it’s unsure to happen.

I do not expect much in this year and my bitcoin prediction will go up $ 10K or $ 20K by the end of this year

Well from now i believe they still not doing it, nasdaq do have an interest in cryptocurrency but they wanted it to be legal first with good regulations and when its safe and good for investment and stable enough to minimize risk then nasdaq would  be happy to step in cryptocurrency.

I got your drift guy, and I kind of agree with your answer. In fact, we still don’t hear the definite decision from Nasdaq CEO but as I think that it’s a sign of launching bitcoin in the future. This’s really a great news to bitcoin , it paves the way for bitcoin to become more and more popular. Especially, it may be a motivation for bitcoin to be accepted widespread in many parts of the world.  It probably reduce the skepticism about bitcoin from many people and partly affects the thinking of almost governments about banning bitcoin so that they may accept the use of bitcoin in their country.

NASDAQ already has a big name and this should be very profitable to Bitcoin and the self-created hype will encourage people's curiosity and trust in Bitcoin, there will be many
new investors who buy Bitcoin eventually. Even if the price isn’t skyrocketing yet, this becomes a fresh air for the current Bitcoin market.

of course yes, it's just a matter of time. It's the time the variable.

It depends on what sort of avenues are open now for institutional investors to invest in Bitcoin. I know there are some companies trying to serve that part of the market, but i'm to sure to what extent they are satisfying that demand.

We are already having all those positive news which are somehow that's not affect the price of Bitcoin to grow so it is not mandatory that good news will force it to go up but anyway we can say that only in the case of we would see that.

It's possible that Bitcoin has entered the horizons of governments and big institutions in most countries, and as a manifestation of Nasdaq as a center of economic activity, I believe the encryption industry will soon be able to demonstrate its strength in Nasdaq.

NASDAQ list huge companies only, if they do list BTC, its one hell of an effect to BTC price. i have also read the publication but it never said they will launch but it only said they are interested. but god knows. they are into business and profit of course who doesn't want profit. and so if they see crypto exchanges to be the future of money business, they gotta adopt or they'd be left behind in the old market.

NASDAQ announced that they will be launching Bitcoin Futures in the first half of 2019.

https://coincodex.tv/videos/493/nasdaq-announced-the-launch-of-bitcoin-futures-in-the-first-half-of-2019

I read about it also and I do not know whether it is true or not. If it is true definitely together with ETF of Bkkt which we are expecting by the first quarter of 2019 the price of bitcoin will move up. Besides the RSI of bitcoin market has been on overbought signaling a possibility of trend reversal which is expected. The bitcoin market will revive by next year.

Yes, this news is true. https://www.express.co.uk/finance/city/1053533/Bitcoin-price-latest-news-btc-usd-blockchain-Nasdaq-list-crt
However, I am not sure if it will benefit to Bitcoin. ETFs are based on nothing, you can buy gold ETF but the gold doesn't exist, it's just a paper money. It leads to more price manipulation and Bitcoin won't be safe from it.
