President of NYSE: NYSE will consider offering cryptocurrency trading if regulatory situation becomes clearer

New York Stock Exchange President Lynn Martin announced on Wednesday during a group meeting that the exchange would consider offering cryptocurrency trading if regulatory conditions in the United States become clearer. Martin stated, “If there is clear regulatory guidance (in the US), this would be an opportunity worth considering.” She added that exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for spot bitcoin trading listed in the US have accumulated $58 billion in assets, which is a “strong signal” of demand for regulated cryptocurrency products. According to the Financial Times, the New York Stock Exchange’s competitor, the regulated futures trading giant, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), is also planning to introduce spot cryptocurrency trading to its clients.
