Yep, this could be our ticket to salvation.

Holy crap.  Marc Andressen.  Haven't heard that name in a spell!

Excellent news if true though.

Matt Anderson, a DFS spokesman, and Joseph Christinat, a Nasdaq spokesman, declined to comment. Andreessen declined to comment through a spokeswoman.

Read the article and you will find keywords such as:

"could soon be squaring off in a battle to become New York’s first regulated exchange"
"has started internal discussions at Nasdaq"
"Should Nasdaq officials decide to go forward"

Nothing definite and no timeline. My impression with corporations is when they are diving into a new project, they tend to keep quiet about it.

you are probably right. let´s wait and see, but interesting times.

This seems like a very, "pumpy" article.  Unnamed sources being referenced while everyone involved declines comment.  It doesn't seem like any really new information has come to light here.  I am sure NASDAQ is doing their due diligence on cryptos, BTC in particular, but you would be hard-pressed to find a large entity in the financial services industry that isn't doing so right now. 

Oh boy would it be fun to watch the price action if NASDAQ were the first to the table though.  Bitcoin trading would make some of the craziest IPOs look like a flat line.

So we've got a fully regulated exchange possibly popping up in New York before the end of the year.  Bitcoin half a step away from being declared a legal currency in California.  US Marshall's office selling off 30,000 BTC thus legitimizing it as a currency whether they want to admit it or not (at least in my mind;).  More venture capital invested already this year than all previous years.  Oh yeah, bitcoin is in good shape I would say.
