Smart Contracts Land on Wall Street Bitcoin has reached out and touched Wall Street. Two platforms for trading so-called smart contracts launched (quite coincidentally) on Tuesday in New York City, one from Overstock.com Inc.OSTK -0.46% and another from tech-startup Symbiont. Both aim to offer a faster, cheaper, and more trustworthy platform for issuing and trading a range of debt instruments. Both also represent the first bitcoin-related enterprises to directly target a part of Wall Street’s day-to-day business, though neither sees itself as a usurper.
