Here we are ! Goldman Sachs is planning to set up a Crypto Trading Desk !
At least one of Wall Street’s biggest firms is growing more comfortable with cryptocurrencies.
It should run by the end of June and this is the first major WS firm to make this move.
Nevertheless, the firm is still trying to figure out a way to be a custodian of Crypto Assets.
Clients are really interested as the price of some companies saying to "work on blockchain or with cryptocurrencies" went up +2500% last week. (Even if most actually are not really doing so).
I just shows the appetite appetite of financial Whales and Investors for this type of assets !
Everything changes as the CEO was skeptical back in October
Publicly, Chief Executive Officer Lloyd Blankfein has been circumspect. He tweeted in October that his firm was looking at how to deal with bitcoin.
The bank began clearing bitcoin futures earlier this month and GS asked for a lot of collateral which made some clients chose another provider. It seems that the Bank changed its mind.
The business may be running by the end of June, two people say
CEO Blankfein has said the firm is mulling a bitcoin strategy
"Winter will probably come" but it seems that this nice run has still some potential going forward :D
