Earlier today, Bloomberg reported that major U.S. stock exchange Nasdaq still intends to launch Bitcoin futures in the first quarter of 2019 despite the recent crash.
Yesterday, the chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Jay Clayton reiterated the commission’s strict stance on Initial Coin Offering (ICO) compliance. In an interview with CNBC, Clayton stressed the need to conduct public token sales in compliance with SEC requirements, claiming that most ICOs should be considered securities.
Crypto investor Anthony Pompliano claimed that Bitcoin would likely drop to 85 percent below its all-time-highs and will stabilize around the $3,000 threshold. While Pompliano said that Bitcoin is the “best performing asset class over the past ten years,” he still claimed that the major cryptocurrency was “overvalued” in December 2017, when Bitcoin hit $20,000.
