"Nasdaq is not just thinking about becoming a digital currency exchange, but has become certain that it will soon become the first global stock exchange to expand its digital asset transactions. The point is planned for October 2018."

Thoughts? I think we'll see another bull run during that time, so better hold now

[Xioma]

Interesting. Looking forward to it.

I think it has potential to become the next big bitcoin trading platform

I think you are seeing the tipping point now for developed countries and they want in on the crypto pie to ensure they get a nice slice of the action.

I think more and more good news will be coming out regularly now. Once the whale manipulators stop trying to hold the lid on its going to be back way way above the ATH.

Worrying for most alts. I used to

Perhaps this is a mark for understanding when a new big growth will start, although if you look at the last year, the explosive growth began just in the 4th quarter, and was until the middle of the first quarter of this 2018. I think on this growth we will be able to break through the 25k mark.

First, the news has been around for days.
Second, more and more financial institutions are accepting bitcoin, which is clearly a good thing.

It doesn't say bitcoin actually. It says crypto trades. That means we can pretty much see all good altcoins to reach very high amount of worldwide investors in safe way. Prices would jump like crazy if it happens.

[Tipstar]

It's a great news for every crypto lovers especially in the US.
Here's a cnbc article about it

If NASDAQ started crypto exchange, that would certainly change the way people (investors) view cryptocurrencies.

[Asimmo]

Definitely great news..
I wonder if we would be able to trade directly with USD pair..
That will be huge advantage

[PUNjabSee]

amazingly, it's a good plan to get everyone to wait curiously. The bitcoin has potential as a new amplifier for other altcoins.

[Yudhisthir]

Nasdaq involvement would too secure the use of every banking infrastructure to buy and sell directly from your home making it accessible to larger group of people and overall increasing the market cap of all coins.

This can only be good news.  More adoption = more users = more demand = fewer coins in circulation = higher prices.!
Thank you NASDAQ!  Now if they would start trading the top 100!

If NASDAQ started crypto exchange I can't imagine what hype we will see and how many investors come to this market. That would be huge and crypto make a new step to adop in a "real world". Investors can bring new money to the market and can help people believe that crypto it's not a bubble, but real deal for a long time.

[auliahr]

I can not imagine it, if it does happen then I'm sure all crypto will explode and maybe it could affect the country state to legalize crypto.

[passwordnow]

Great news, this will give an impact to the crypto market.

And I think this has been seen by the predictors who are saying that bitcoin will reach $40,000 for this year.

This is biggie!!

[tycsols]

Nasdaq being one of the biggest stock exchanges in the world will definitely exert positive effect on the crypto market and for bitcoin i think boom time is going to start soon with all these developments.

[QFT]

I am doubtful but really hoping this is true. We will see so much green 

[ololajulo]

Everyone is now seeing exchanges as a new business strategy. Obviously exchange owners are the new top earners in crypto community while they also  drive the currency price with increased trade volume.

It's about the possibility but remember the decision could be affected by various reasons just like this one https://cointelegraph.com/news/us-sec-official-says-ico-regulation-should-be-balanced-congressman-suggests-ban
I don't take any speculation seriously until there is a positive news if nasdaq has confirmed to open cryptocurrency exchange site in the future.

I think it's even better news, but there's the word "maybe" which means certainty of this will happen or not still not valid yet. if supposing that is the case, the possibility of ATH will only occur in late september.

still monitor nasdaq will launch ICO or not
