Hi all,
In my country of Israel, the govt. Securities Authority has announced that they are pursuing options to ban businesses based on bitcoin and cryptocurrencies from trading on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (
https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/1.831170). I'm trying to do a comparative research to see if other such policies have been put in place in other countries. Does anyone know of other similar cases?
This can be an inconvenient to those companies doing business in the cryptocurrency sphere and would also like to explore options in Stock Exchange. However, am sure that this can just be temporary until such time that cryptocurrency will mature and can be accepted as a legitimate industry to be with. Maybe those in authority are just afraid of what cryptocurrency can be bringing to their business because there is a possibility that in the future those stock exchanges can be replaced by blockchain-enhanced trading platforms.
Now, having said that, if I am in a business involved with cryptocurrency then I would never seek acceptance in that traditional stock exchange platform since we already have many viable ways and means to raise more funds via ICO or TokenSale. Anyway, this is just a suggestion.
