Nasdaq Issues Warning to Bitcoin Mining Company

Nasdaq’s CEO is Majorly Bullish Towards Cryptocurrency

The future of Nasdaq is almost certainly set to include Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, thanks to CEO Adena Friedman’s bullishness towards blockchain technology.


Bullish on Blockchain

Nasdaq CEO Adena Friedman is majorly into the blockchain —Bitcoin’s underlying technology — believing that the revolutionary technology will reshape our economy. She told CNN’s Poppy Harlow on Boss Files:

5 BTC + 300 Free Spins for new players & 15 BTC + 35.000 Free Spins every month, only at mBitcasino. Play Now!

We see technology as a relentless change agent and our job is to embrace that change, to bring it to the industry, and make it so that our industry continues to be a very successful industry in the next decade or even beyond that.

Adena Friedman, Nasdaq CEO

Friedman is pushing to expand Nasdaq’s offerings into the world of digital assets and cryptocurrencies, as opposed to keeping it rooted entirely in traditional stocks. Part of this push included a new deal with Bitcoin bulls Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss. The twins own the popular Gemini cryptocurrency exchange, which will utilize Nasdaq’s technology to ensure compliance. Explained Nasdaq’s CEO:

There are a lot of exciting things in the machine intelligence space. There are a lot of exciting things in the trading space. [Blockchain] takes a lot of risk out of the system and therefore it makes it so that the banks don’t have to be as capital intensive. And that’s a big incentive.

Bullish on Cryptocurrency

Unlike many other blockchain proponents in the world of traditional finance, Friedman isn’t bearish in regards to cryptocurrencies. In fact, she claimed that such digital currencies may be the “right next step in the space of currency.” Still, she isn’t entirely convinced they are here to stay, elaborating:

How it evolves and which of the cryptocurrencies may or may not be the one that ultimately gets embraced, I think that really the jury is still out on that. But I do think the idea of a more globalized payment mechanism that is more efficient than what we have today allows for money to transfer across countries and certainly supports the Internet economy.

Bitcoin acceptance

The future of cryptocurrencies, Friedman says, largely depends on the response from world governments. She explained:

What is the best crypto casino in July 2022? Read our comprehensive comparison! We made deposits, played and reviewed 80+ crypto casinos to choose the best one.

Are the governments going to start to embrace it? Or are they still going to have it sit outside the realm of their oversight? That’s the real question that’s yet to be answered. I think the technology is fascinating and it’s a very sound technology. It’s just a matter of making sure that the community is all embracing it together.

A Proactive Approach

Nevertheless, Friedman is not prepared to sit back and watch it all play out. Instead, she’s making sure Nasdaq is ahead of the curve. Explained the CEO:

The first uses of the blockchain will be in the less regulated markets, less efficient markets, more bespoke markets. Test it out, show that it works, demonstrate the efficiency in the Nasdaq private market or in the fund industry. It takes a village to make it work, but people are going to be highly motivated if we show that the use cases bring a lot of efficiency.

What do you think of Adena Friedman’s bullishness? Do you think cryptocurrencies are here to stay? Let us know in the comments below!
