New to the forum so forgive a dumb question. I have looked here and searched online. Has anyone been able to trade Bitcoin in exchange for US Stock in a private company (start-up or other)? Not a pre-ICO discount coin offering but coin to purchase stock? Could be an off-shore early coin investor looking to diversify, or a US investor through an SEC approved PPM or other?
There have been a couple of attempts at creating Bitcoin ETF's that I assume would be traded like mutual funds. So far those requests have been denied as far as I know. This probably would be a good way to get investors into Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
It's probably going to take some time for that to happen. There are still a lot of unknowns about how governments feel about Bitcoin and how they will treat it (currency vs. commodity).
