In 2008, after the global financial crisis, an anonymous programmer created Bitcoin. The programmer named himself Nakamoto.
Originally, the original purpose of Nakamoto to create bitcoin was to hope that users could trade without any financial institutions, and hope that this model can replace the old bank. However, the development of Bitcoin has not replaced banks, but has begun to play its role in the non-traditional financial world.
Now, Bitcoin trading has basically become a kind of virtual investment, and people expect that the bitcoin held in their hands can continue to appreciate.
As a virtual currency, Bitcoin has not been regulated for nearly a decade.
Recently, Bitcoin has gradually warmed up on Wall Street.
According to people familiar with the matter, the New York Stock Exchange parent company Intercontinental Exchange has been working to build a bitcoin online trading platform that will allow large investors to conduct bitcoin transactions. The informed person who disclosed the news to the New York Times asked for anonymity because the platform-building plan was still in a confidential state.
The news of the Intercontinental Exchange was immediately revealed after Goldman Sachs publicly stated that it would set up a bitcoin trading department.
Previously, digital currencies were known primarily for dark-net trading, illegal trading, high-risk and speculation. At the moment, this move by Goldman Sachs and Intercontinental marks a shift in the mainstream trend of digital currencies. To a certain extent, does it mean that Bitcoin will open a new chapter of history?
However, the details of the platform being developed by the Intercontinental Exchange have not yet been finalized, and whether the platform can be achieved is currently unknown.
If the platform of the Intercontinental Exchange can be successfully launched, there is no doubt that the user base of Bitcoin will be more extensive and financial companies will participate.
Both the government and the company have expressed interest in blockchain technology. Some large financial exchanges, including the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, have already launched Bitcoin futures.
Nasdaq CEO Ardenne Friedman recently said that if regulatory issues are resolved, Nasdaq will create a virtual currency trading platform.
Although several hedge fund companies have been trading Bitcoin, most large institutional investors, such as mutual funds and pensions, have not made such transactions because of regulatory concerns.
In the mainstream financial sector, Bitcoin still faces many questions. Last weekend, Warren Buffett said in an interview with CNBC that the cryptocurrency would have a bad ending. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said he would "short" bitcoin if he could.
The data on the news and data website blockchain.info shows that the current average price of Bitcoin is about $9,425.
Paul? Zhou, a trader who worked at Goldman Sachs, said his company, LedgerX, has focused on a large number of people holding Bitcoin and has not focused on financial institutions.
Mr. Zhou made it clear that:
The reason we enter the cryptocurrency field is not to work with the bank, but to replace the bank. We will use the advantages of Bitcoin to directly trade with cryptocurrency holders, avoiding the participation of third parties such as brokers and banks.
Regulators are currently investigating whether there are many virtual currencies that violate securities regulations. Institutional investors said that because of the particularity of Bitcoin, there is neither a company nor an organization behind Bitcoin, which makes Bitcoin and the regulators cooperate in the security field.
