BREAKING: BTC is now being traded on the Nasdaq! I bought one BTC through my TDAmeritrade account! According to the chart it started trading April 10, 2019!! Other digital assets are soon to follow!! UPDATE: According to TDAmeritrade support - it's not a real trade in my account - it appears they are testing only using their Paper Trading platform. Support said "I'm not able to speak on it" -They did not know what CXERX is. Strange...

I remember this news earlier this week. But If I remember it may be something in Beta, at least not yet official. When the guy contacted the support desk they were not even aware of this and could not explain what it was. By the way, there is also Litecoin added.

It won't be traded in the NASDAQ itself, if this really happen NASDAQ would only provide a separate market for cryptocurrencies and not mix it up to stocks of companies as it will just complicate things. The positive side is if this happens USA will be like South Korea on having their own crypto market with the benefits of price gaps happening with their own market. This might be the american government wants in the first place on having their own independent crypto market running without big foreign influence as much as they can.

Yes it still at it beta testing mode and have not been made official, we will keep looking forward to more coins getting listed on the Nasdaq exchange we need more of such development in the cryptocurrency exchange market because a lot of exchanges are becoming more centralized and regulated.

This is a pretty big deal, much more so than the empty Bakkt that won't be granted an approval this year. Bakkt has already been kicked in the nuts by LedgerX, and possibly even Nasdaq with their Bitcoin backed futures. That being said, the total number of their traders is just a headline figure. No way they will all rush to buy themselves into Bitcoin. It would be amazing if they did, but we have to be realistic here. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) By the way, there is also Litecoin added.
Makes me wonder how deep they are invested in this coin. I do like the fact that there is nothing but positivity around Litecoin, which is a world of difference compared to scam coins such as Bcash and BSV where they are only out to cause drama.

BSV is not the real Bcash. Bcash is the real Bcash.

You’re right, there so many rumors about this before about NASDAQ and its adoption but until now, we are still hoping for this kind of news. BTC trading on the top stock exchange is always a good adoption, though its hard to believe that it can happen right now, maybe in the future that every stock market will accept bitcoin.

It'll be interesting to see whether or not they will look at bitcoin derivatives as more of the direction that they're heading in, or just bitcoin itself.
I think that if it's the former, there isn't really anything to see here, but if the latter, there could be some positive implications as a result of the listing.
Still though, I doubt it'll influence any fundamentals that bitcoin brings. Potentially it could mean that bitcoin becomes more liquid as more institutions see it as legitimate since it's traded on a platform that they know of, but in reality, the product that Nasdaq offers is really not that much different to all the exchanges that we already see currently.
So yeah, what it comes down to is really recognition, volume, convenience, and potentially liquidity, which are all great benefits especially for institutional investors. But just like ETFs, I doubt that it's going to increase adoption per se.

I heard this before that Nasdaq will start trading BTC but now it has come into reality. Though it's still in beta but it's a good start, eventually this would help this year to be more bullish and it goes live soon .

While I understand it is a trial run going on, but it raises some questions in my mind,
1. Will it be a bitcoin derivative? if not, 2. Can the traders get actual delivery of bitcoins?
I doubt it is the case, but if traders can get actual delivery of bitcoins, it's great for the market!
If not, doesn't make sense because it won't have any impact on the market!

UPDATE: According to TDAmeritrade support - it's not a real trade in my account - it appears they are testing only using their Paper Trading platform.
This is dodgy indeed. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) How can you pay real money for a test exercise on paper and not tell the investors in advance? This is obviously not real bitcoins that are bought, but just some ledger entry on their own internal ledger system. In any way, hiding this or telling people not to talk about this, raise red flags for me. Do they want to do this without prior approval or do they want to jump in front of their competition or is this insider trading? Typical Nasdaq strategies to "exclude" certain people from the inside circle. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

Way too optimistic in my opinion. This is basically a testing phase. If it is indeed made available to the general public later on, this could be huge since millions of clients could begin trading BTC actively. However, I will keep my expectations grounded since news regarding institutional investors never helped much in the past.

BTC trading on the top stock exchange is always a good adoption, though its hard to believe that it can happen right now, maybe in the future that every stock market will accept bitcoin. So when this adoption is real, then would there be a positive impact on Bitcoin? Or will it be the same or even worse? I don't fully understand about this, so I have to stick around and see if I could find clarifications.

I am not too surprised / hype because many times Nasdaq wants to be held or other meetings, but always backed up and the edges don't so it's not too shocking, we'll see if they get together or not and talking about the future of crypto will be what after this meeting whether for the sake of a good future / not

Yeah, both Ameritrade and E-Trade are reportedly going to offer cryptocurrencies for trading. My guess is they see Robinhood and other startups eat away at their potential user base, so they got jealous and decided to join this bonanza. This will have the effect of introducing cryptocurrencies to millions of new people, so this is an exciting development. We are seeing institutional money entering this year.

These are some of the little (but mighty) things that can drive the mass adoption the community seeks. It's not about begging a billionaire somewhere to patronize and invest in Bitcoin to make it get acceptance. It's a good thing the stock exchange is taking it up. However, Forex trading platforms have been accepting Bitcoin trading pair for years now.

I won't take those news serious until I see a confirmation (with some dates and details) from NASDAQ. Crypto community has been waiting for BTC futures trading in CBOE but those futures had almost no support and ended up delisted with a tiny volume. Nothing tells us that there is some interest in cryptocurencies from the side of major investors. Also, no one knows if people would buy crypto or it would be some contract, attached to BTC price.
