If BTC (and crypto) need any more to be legitimate, this is it. The NASDAQ is the biggest exchange to embrace this so far. This will enable the institutions to get into it...that is where the big money is...instead of dealing in billions, you are now talking trillions of dollars.....

But there's a higher purpose to offering a bitcoin futures contract: It's a battle for prestige. The exchange whose contract becomes established as the de facto bitcoin futures product will win profits and burnish its reputation.

I love this....set the dogs off at each other. Let the sharks on Wall Street battle it out to be top dog...that will only make the entire sector that much more valuable.
