After creating the BISON crypto-trading app, the second-largest stock exchange in Germany continues to embrace cryptocurrency with its most recent initiative.

Boerse Stuttgart is creating an ICO platform, a trading venue and custody for cryptocurrencies and related services.

The BISON app due for launch this autumn will facilitate market access and allow free and secure trading of cryptocurrencies, making it the first app in the world to be backed by a traditional stock exchange. The app will support trading in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, and Litecoin to begin with.

After the launch the group then plans to extend its activities to the primary and secondary markets. The ICO platform will serve to issue digital tokens in cases like corporate financing or to represent rights and assets as well as launching new ICO projects with what the group describes as “standardised and transparent processes.”

The custody services will include differentiated safety concepts for digital assets and will already be available with the launch of the BISON trading app. The group states that the custody service will later be available for use along the entire value chain as well as the app itself. The news of a major German exchange becoming more involved in crypto coincides with the owner of the New York Stock Exchange launching their own Bitcoin market.

The race is on for who will be the first to "legitimize" cryptocurrency trading and bring it to institutional investors who are getting ready to pounce on the market. It appears the Germans will be the first. If you have a contrary opinion let us know

I don’t know think that one single person is able to do this such big thing , it’s a team work job and every one have to go together hand in hand to bring crypto trading in a large scale to an institution level. All the countries and big companies needs to take initiative and should come together to brig bitcoin in a big trading institution and and should try to declare bitcoin a central currency globally because I think declaring bitcoin a central currency is profitable to all these countries and large companies also.

Yes I agree.  But some one will need to take the initiative

When bitcoin was introduced in the year 2008, it was completely unknown to everyone and its like a alien technology and nobody was going to believe it that time but those who believed on it are now bitcoin billionaires and now we are the one who are reading their success stories so I think these are the only people who has bring crypto trading to such a high trade and now the conditions are like that every one who has sufficient capital to invest in , wants to invest into bitcoin.

I think coinbase will bring crypto to both mainstream and big institutions, that is big mission and cannot be done by an app. That will take time for sure as well.
