NEW YORK — The digital currency known as bitcoin, a peer-to-peer form of encrypted payment that exists only virtually, has been clouded recently by incidents of theft and fraud. But two firms, the Ireland-domiciled Perseus Telecom and the New York company Atlas ATS, have announced plans to broaden the appeal of bitcoin and other digital currencies by offering institutional investors a global private network with top-level security.

Here comes Wall Street. They regularly pump commodities like gold into trillion dollar marketcaps.

sounds cool!

There are 180 digital currencies already in existence, Sloves said, with about six major ones. Bitcoin is the largest, but he said the new platform will trade others as well. He called it a “disruptive” innovation, with the same potential to remake business as did the Internet in the 1990s, by offering real-time transfers of assets both for investors and e-commerce companies - who will pay much smaller fees than those charged by current online pay services like Paypal.
 
“We expect over the next five years at least a fivefold increase in commission dollars generated from just U.S.-dominated bitcoin,” Sloves said, further predicting that commissions would exceed $1 billion.

That's actually a good news. Nice to hear that BTC is growing and despite everything there is always something new opens

This is very good news for the crypto community! It was only a matter of time.

Any exchange that has anything to do with wall street should be avoided at all costs.

Mark my words, it will end in tears - i see goxII on the horizon.
