The second largest stock exchange in the world, Nasdaq, presumably tests the possibility of trading financial instruments based on the first cryptocurrency.

Thus, a Cryptopolisx user said that he had acquired 1 BTC on the Nasdaq platform, using the TD Ameritrade broker account.

He added that, judging by the schedule, trading in a bitcoin asset with the CXERX ticker started on April 10.

Then Cryptopolisx contacted TD Ameritrade customer support. Representatives of the broker responded that they did not know anything about the CXERX ticker on the Nasdaq, however, the stock exchange is presumably testing a new asset, which is now available in paper trading.

UPDATE: According to TDAmeritrade support – it’s not necessary to use your paper paper trading platform. Support said “I’m not able to know what the CXERX is. Strange … But something is going on for sure! pic.twitter.com/gUxtHX0TNg

The user came to the conclusion that his transaction was unreal, but “something is definitely happening” on the exchange.

Recall that at the end of last year, the Nasdaq confirmed their intention to launch Bitcoin futures in the first half of 2019.

Also earlier, BlockchainJournal reported that Nasdaq launched bitcoin-based indices and Ethereum from Brave New Coin. In addition, in March, the exchange announced the launch of two cryptocurrency indices from the CoinMarketCap analytic service.
