Nasdaq & Fidelity Invest in ErisX
A group of investors, including Nasdaq Ventures and Fidelity Investments, have invested in ErisX. ErisX is a planned crypto and crypto futures exchange.[1][2]
The exchange will offer spot and futures trading on Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ethereum (ETH) and Litecoin (LTC) to start. In the future they plan to add options trading.
Their planned launch is Q2 2019.
In other words, this is yet another product backed by the traditional players in finance aimed at custody and derivatives solutions for an array of traders and investors, importantly including institutional traders, with a 2019 launch date (another example being Bakkt).
