Anything that can increase cryptocurrency adoption is a good thing.  I think it's great that the NASDAQ is doing this.  It shows that they are forward-thinking and at least are trying to embrace Crypto.

Fact check:
NASDAQ haven't yet acquired it. The have just submitted the bid and expressed interest to buy Cinnober. That's a big milestone yet to be achieved.

On 25th April 2018, NASDAQ CEO said in an interview that they are actively exploring options to enter into cryptospace. This acquisition is going to be their first step into crypto economy. Indeed a cheering news.

Question:
Will SEC allow NASDAQ to operate in cryptospace? Because SEC is reportedly very worried about the safety of public money!! I hope you get the sarcasm!!

There are some questions regarding this matter but it is not a big deal, nor a wonder, it is their way of remaining on the track, the mass adoption of the cryptos is a worldwide phenomenon and it is the current trend to stay on track, sooner or later more and more prominent entities will get into this crypto-space as well.

I do, the SEC hurdle remains a key ingredient, custodian services will not work if there are not enough regulations to protect investors, maybe they anticipate an approval by SEC, politics behind closed doors
