[ABC]

 

For those interested in bitcoin as an asset, the U.S. Marshal Service's auction was an opportunity to acquire large, fully-fungible blocks of bitcoin. “They’re washing these bitcoin clean, with the seal of approval of the US federal government” said Jeremy Allaire, CEO of Circle. [WSJ]

Duhaime says she’s excited by the possibilities presented by widespread bitcoin use, noting that the complicated logging system makes fraudulent transactions virtually impossible to complete. In addition, she says it could open up the world of financial services to entirely new populations.

“I’m thinking about the large population in Africa without a bank account and refugee camps where you might have cellphones but no banking services. Bitcoin has the potential to deliver financial services to them,” she says.
 

 

 

 

 

Wsj: Bitcoin Trading Platform Atlas Partners With National Stock Ex

 

 

New York-based bitcoin trading platform Atlas ATS is partnering with a small U.S. stock exchange to expedite a regulatory approval process that has stymied the development of digital-currency exchanges in the U.S.

Under an agreement to be announced Wednesday, the National Stock Exchange, which is owned by the CBOE Holdings, CBOE +1.33% Inc. and is recognized by the Securities and Exchange Commission as a self-regulatory organization, or SRO, will write and enforce the rules governing how Atlas's exchange functions.

Once the two parties have agreed to those rules and surveillance procedures, Atlas will become the first bitcoin marketplace to be regulated by a "quasi-government entity," Atlas Chief Executive Officer Shawn Solves said.
