Breaking: nasdaq is testing trading of a bitcoin-based product

It’s great news for Bitcoin (BTC) enthusiasts and the crypto community as Nasdaq is possibly testing the trading of a Bitcoin-based product. Cryptopolis, a quantitative analyst at StrongMarket, tweeted about purchasing one BTC on the Nasdaq platform through his TD Ameritrade account.

Cryptopolis also noted that the BTC trading was available since April 10 on the Nasdaq platform.

As we can see, Bitcoin (BTC) was trading against the U.S. Dollar under the ‘CXERX’ ticker symbol. However, Cryptopolis laters spoke with the support team of TD Ameritrade to clarify this matter. It turned out that this was just a test on Paper Trading platform meaning that you can just simulate a Bitcoin (BTC) buy, but not actually purchase it.

However, the support denied giving additional details regarding this matter. In another tweet, Cryptopolis wrote:

“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… But something is going on for sure!”

Nasdaq’s bitcoin Trading to Trigger Next Bull Run

Undoubtedly, the availability of Bitcoin trading on the Nasdaq platform could trigger the next bull-run in the crypto market. It would be huge news for the overall crypto community as this could lead to a flood of institutional money flowing into the crypto market.

Since long, Nasdaq has been to step in the crypto market through one or the other route. Nasdaq already provides several crypto exchanges with real-time information on two cryptocurrency indices – Bitcoin and Ethereum. If the world’s second-largest stock exchange allows BTC trading, it will open the floodgates for huge investor participation.

Furthermore, Nasdaq is most likely to launch its Bitcoin futures contracts along with VanEck in the first half of 2018. A Bloomberg report released in November 2018 read:

“Nasdaq has been working to satisfy the concerns of the U.S.’s main swaps regulator, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, before launching the contracts, the people said. The New York exchange operator, which was first reported to be eyeing Bitcoin futures last year, wants to allow trading in the first quarter of 2019, one of the people said.”

Nasdaq is most likely to be accompanied by another big player – Bakkt – who is planning for Bitcoin futures launch ahead this year. The year 2019 is likely to bring some of the most interesting developments in the crypto market.

Since the beginning of April 2019, Bitcoin and the overall crypto market has created a fresh new hope after months of massive crypto winter. Bitcoin price has surged by nearly 30% in the last three weeks as it sets its new target for $6000. Similarly, the overall market has added $40 billion since April 1, as altcoins majorly participate in this month’s bull run.

All Out Political, Economic, And Financial Warfare!

milesfranklin.com / by Andrew Hoffman / Mar 21, 2017

Like it or not, we are living through a major inflectionary point in human history; on more fronts; with more lasting, and dramatic changes than any before it.  Yes, there have been hundreds of humanity-altering wars throughout history.  However, never have so many people been impacted by current events; as, for example, there are 7.4 billion people today, compared to 2.3 billion at World War II’s onset.  And while WWII shaped the culture, economic and monetary, and physical borders for generations; in hindsight, until recently, the post-war Era has been “more of the same.”  Only this time, global economic leadership switched from one Western power, the UK, to another, the U.S.; as evidenced by the “reserve currency,” in an increasingly global world, switching from the Pound to the dollar.

Other than the nuclear bomb, which enabled the war to end – technology advancement was not a significant by-product of the war.  To that end, the global fiat currency regime that took over for the previous system – i.e, hundreds of privately-managed fiat and/or gold-backed fiefdoms; was hardly a “technological breakthrough.”  Frankly, it wasn’t until the computer was invented – and exponentially advanced – six decades, and five billion people later, that the world dramatically changed.  Mostly for the better; but as regards technologies’ impact on said fiat regime, it took something inherently bad, and made it a thousand times worse.  In practical terms, the equivalent of a financial nuclear bomb, “weaponized” to wreak maximum political, economic, social, and monetary destruction.  Which is exactly where we stand today – as for all the technology that went into creating it, the world’s most diabolical “financial rocket scientists” couldn’t figure a way to counteract its fatal, historically hubristic flaw.  I.e., no matter how much money printing, market manipulation, and propaganda is applied – using the most advanced financial engineering, high frequency algorithms, and “fake news” sources; fiat money, by nature, is a Ponzi scheme that must – and always has – failed.  Only this time, it is doing so on a global scale, after having bankrupted hundreds of nations, thousands of institutions, and billions of individuals.
