TD Ameritrade invests in cryptocurrency exchange ErisX
(Reuters) - Retail brokerage TD Ameritrade Holding Corp (AMTD.O) said on Wednesday it has invested in a new cryptocurrency exchange called ErisX in a bid to offer clients digital asset investment options beyond the popular bitcoin.
TD Ameritrade clients can already trade bitcoin futures over the CBOE Futures Exchange. ErisX will allow clients to potentially trade other cryptocurrency futures, such as Etherium and Litecoin, said J.B. Mackenzie, TD Ameritrade’s managing director of futures and foreign exchange.
“It could open up additional cryptocurrency products on the future and spot side that our clients could potentially trade,” Mackenzie said.
Cryptocurrencies are virtual tokens that can be used as forms of payments on a variety of online applications. They can also be traded on dedicated online exchanges.
ErisX plans to launch spot trading in the first half of 2019, with physically settled futures to launch later in 2019, subject to regulatory approval, said ErisX Chief Executive Officer Thomas Chippas.
TD Ameritrade did not disclose the size of its investment in ErisX. It joins more than a dozen other investors, including Virtu Financial Inc (VIRT.O), Cboe Global Markets Inc (CBOE.N) and Digital Currency Group in contributing to the funding round.

This Wall Street Backed Crypto Exchange Could Rival Bakkt
The Bakkt firm that is scheduled for launched on Wall Street in November, has been regarded as a game changer in the crypto-verse. Bakkt stands the chance of being the catalyst that will bring in the highly anticipated Institutional Investors by offering them a secure avenue to invest in Bitcoin (BTC) and other major cryptocurrencies. Bakkt aims at using existing regulatory rules rather than changing them as the Bitcoin ETF has been attempting to do.
News reaching Ethereum World News indicate that Bakkt is not the only Wall Street firm planning on bringing Bitcoin (BTC) and digital asset investing to the mainstream. According to reliable sources, another group of Wall Street giants are getting behind a new cryptocurrency exchange by the name of ErisX. TD Ameritrade, a Brokerage giant, is part of the list of firms backing the exchange that will allow individuals to trade cryptocurrencies and derivatives tied to digital assets.

Yale University Invests in Crypto
Yale University, the Ivy League school that has invested in everything from Puerto Rican bonds to timber in New Hampshire, is getting into the market for cryptocurrencies.
The second-largest endowment in higher education is among investors that helped a new fund focused on digital assets raise $400 million, according to a person with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be identified because the information is private. The fund, called Paradigm, was recently started by Coinbase Inc. co-founder Fred Ehrsam, former Sequoia Capital partner Matt Huang, and Charles Noyes, an ex-employee of crypto fund Pantera Capital.
Yale, whose nearly $30 billion endowment is headed by David Swensen, is among the few large institutions to invest in the cryptocurrency market, which has tumbled this year after a stunning rally in 2017. The size of its investment in the Paradigm fund could not be ascertained, and the New Haven, Connecticut-based school, didn’t immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
While a wave of institutional capital could reverse the crypto slump, new entrants are being deterred by market manipulation and a lack of regulation. Ninety-six percent of endowments and foundations responding to a survey by consulting firm NEPC in February said they don’t invest in digital currencies.
Almost 60 percent of Yale’s assets in fiscal 2019 are targeted for alternative investments including venture capital, hedge funds and leveraged buyouts, according to the school.
Paradigm, which also counts venture-capital firm Sequoia Capital as an investor, plans to invest in early-stage projects focused on cryptocurrencies, new blockchains and exchanges, Noyes told Bloomberg News in June. The firm declined to comment for this story.
In addition to investing directly in digital coins, a number of crypto funds also invest in other funds and buy stakes in blockchain companies.

JUNIPER RESEARCH REPORT SUGGESTS THE ENTIRE CRYPTOCURRENCY MARKET IS NEAR ‘IMPLOSION’
A recent study by*Juniper Research*titled,*The Future of Cryptocurrency: Bitcoin & Altcoin Trends & Challenges 2018-2023, warns that the current technical setup of the entire cryptocurrency market indicates the possibility of a total market implosion.
According to the study, daily Bitcoin (BTC)*$6571.97*+0.18%*transaction volume fell from 360,000 in late 2017 to just 230,000 daily transactions as of September 2018. At the same time, the value of these daily transactions also fell from $3.7 billion to less than $670 million and the pace of cryptocurrency transactions within the entire market contracted from $1.4 trillion in Q1 of 2017 to less than $1.7 trillion for the entire year.
WAIT FOR IT… IT GETS WORSE
Researchers went even further by suggesting that “based on activity during the first half of Q3, Juniper estimates a further 47 percent quarter-on-quarter drop in transaction values.” The report also noted that the cryptocurrency market failed to rally amongst tense geopolitical events such as the U.S. – China trade war and Brexit-related issues.
While handfuls of well-known*analysts,*hedge fund managers, and*venture capitalists*are bullishly forecasting a bitcoin and altcoin trend reversal, Juniper referenced the unorthodox “operating practices of many exchanges,” as well as concerns regarding the “innate valuation of Bitcoin.” The report concluded by saying, “We feel that the industry is on the brink of an implosion.”

Harvard, Stanford, & MIT Have All Invested in Cryptocurrency
At least five more university endowments have invested in cryptocurrency funds, suggesting that the “herd” of institutional investors is finally beginning to place at least a small bet on the nascent asset class.
As first reported by The Information, a cadre of major educational institutions including Harvard University, Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dartmouth College, and the University of North Carolina have each invested in at least one cryptocurrency fund through their respective endowments.
Citing an unnamed source familiar with the investments, the publication reported that these five university endowments have invested tens of millions of dollars in these funds, which in turn invest in both physical cryptocurrencies and equity in cryptocurrency companies.
CCN previously reported that Yale University, which controls the second-largest university endowment next to Harvard, had allocated a portion of its $29.4 billion in assets into two cryptocurrency funds operated by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and Paradigm.
Even with these investments, the six universities that are now said to have invested in crypto funds still have very little exposure to this asset class. Nevertheless, the fact that they are engaging with the market at all could help legitimize the space.

Goldman Sachs Announces Multi-Million Dollar Investment In Crypto
Goldman Sachs says it’s investing millions in a venture designed to bring Wall Street investors with deep pockets into the cryptocurrency market.
Goldman and crypto venture firm Galaxy Digital are investing a combined $15 million into BitGo, a fully regulated cryptocurrency custodian that securely purchases and stores digital assets on behalf of institutional investors.
“If you were investing in any other asset class, you’re probably not worried about the asset just disappearing — but this one, people still have that fear,” BitGo’s CEO Mike Belshe told Bloomberg. To push cryptocurrencies into the mainstream, “we’ve got to conquer that.”
The move follow’s Fidelity’s breakthrough entrance into the world of cryptocurrency. The world’s fourth largest asset manager announced its big entry into crypto on Monday, with the launch of a crypto trading desk and custody platform.
Goldman says it’s been working on a crypto trading desk of its own for months, despite rumors to the contrary. However, the company has not yet released a launch date.
BitGo offers custody for more than 75 coins and says it holds more than $2 billion in assets. The company has raised around $70 million in venture capital from two rounds of funding.Comment

It took just five days for bitcoin to rise from $6,000 to $8,000
Last Wednesday we reported that bitcoin had risen to $6,000 for the first time this year. On Monday, just five days later, bitcoin reached a new 2019 high of $8,000. As I write this, one bitcoin is worth about $7,900.

Bitcoin absolutely blowing up. It's up by almost $1k today alone. New bull market looks ready to take this fucken thing into the stratosphere.
4 months ago BTC was $4200. it's now $100 shy of $9k.
it is out performing every market on the planet by a huge margin once again. at some point skeptics are going to have to look themselves in the mirror and ask themselves if a mania or a ponzi usually last a decade with no signs of slowing down while all the while getting more an more institutional investment by the day. skeptics are going to have to start getting real with themselves and understand that the only thing that matters is price action. bitcoin was worth literally pennies in 2009. it is now worth $9k. that's the brutal truth no matter what argument you have. that's pure fact. price action is the only truth here. markets have bull and bear cycles. bitcoin cycles are the fastest and most brutal (bear market 2018) of any market in history. but it's bull markets are explosive and sustained. they last for years. every bear market in bitcoin is easily eclipsed by the following bull market. you've been put on notice niggas.
