We are excited to announce that the Winklevoss Index (WinkDex) is now available on Bloomberg via WINKBTCO.  We are honored to be working with Bloomberg to bring a blended bitcoin price index to their wide-reaching investor community.

Still no word of a date, but this is at least another step in the right direction.

We need to slow things down.  I still need more fiat to buy cheap coins.

This looks like the bloomberg terminal, not the bloomberg website.

The terminal is available to wall street/investment banking professionals and costs tens of thousands per year

Yes, slow this train down. I don't have enough coins yet!

Live data from exchanges tend not to be free as most exchanges will charge to access live data. What you see from Yahoo finance is likely data from ACRA or another smaller exchange (unless this fact has changed semi-recently)

Bloomberg also provides a news/wire service to subscribers as well as a messaging platform.

It is very expensive and I honestly cannot understand how banks justify buying even one subscription (they need to buy a subscription for every person that uses it).

Have there been any public announcements lately on the progress of their SEC approval?

This is actually good news!

Really hoping to see their ETF listed.

I have 0.01 riding on this! :P (https://www.betmoose.com/bet/winklevoss-bitcoin-etf-will-trade-on-the-nasdaq)

Youve still got a solid month to buy bitcoins, if really, buy with cash in person! GOGO!
