Big step forward.

ICE owns the NYSE and a dozen other exchanges around the world. It is the largest securities warehousing authority on earth. Potentially eliminates some of the big negatives surrounding digital assets - clearance, custody & security! $BTC https://t.co/d75arDnuoG

At long last, @Bakkt is ready to launch the first physically-settled bitcoin futures in the US!

This is big news. It's hard to overstate the credibility that ICE brings to the space for large institutions.

Now we get to see if the demand is really there.https://t.co/bwzxk2Ur9u

#Bitcoin is officially on Wall Street as of next month. This will allow those that 'don't understand it' to invest in the same familiar way they do with stocks. Insured, secure, reputable & easy. Thanks @Bakkt! ??https://t.co/qBi5DLU7ym
