The New York Times reported that Goldman Sachs is looking into opening a bitcoin trading desk.
This may seem like an institutional shift in perception for the crypto-economy but Tech Crunch clarified that Goldman Sachs has just hired one person to look into the possibilities, so there’s no official trading desk as of yet. “The key point is this isn’t some sort of tipping point for real-world acceptance of bitcoin, as much as bitcoin fans would like to paint it as one,” David Gerard, author and expert in cryptocurrencies, told Tech Crunch.
