Kripto trgovalna miza Goldman Sachs se razširi na Ether

United States investment bank Goldman Sachs is planning to offer Ether (ETH) derivatives products in the coming months, setting the stage for wider adoption of the second-largest cryptocurrency and marking a significant departure from the institution’s critical stance on digital assets in the past. 

Mathew McDermott, Goldman’s managing director of digital assets, confirmed Monday that the investment bank is expanding into Ether options and futures. In an interview with Bloomberg News, McDermott je dejal institutional demand for cryptocurrencies will continue to grow despite the recent bout of market volatility:

»Institucionalno posvojitev se bo nadaljevala. […] Kljub materialnemu popravku cene še vedno opažamo veliko zanimanje za ta prostor. "

McDermott se je prejšnji teden skliceval na raziskavo 850 ustanov, v kateri je skoraj 10% vprašanih reklo, da trgujejo s kripto, 20% pa jih zanima vstop na trg.

Institutional inflows into Ether products have amounted to nearly $1 billion this year alone, with total assets worth roughly $11.1 billion, according to CoinShares.

Goldman launched a limited Bitcoin (BTC) derivatives trading desk v začetku maja. The new outfit is embedded within the bank’s Global Currencies and Emerging Markets division and is overseen by McDermott’s digital-asset unit.

Goldman’s embrace of digital assets goes far beyond its trading desks. As Cointelegraph reported, the bank recently led a $15 million investment round for Coin Metrics, a leading cryptocurrency intelligence platform. McDermott said Goldman is “looking at a number of different companies that fit our strategic direction.”
