And Adena Friedman, CEO of Nasdaq, reminded everyone of that again today during an interview on CNBC. On Wednesday, the company announced a collaboration with cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, founded by early bitcoin investors Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss. Over the few months, they partnered with San Diego based ETF firm, Reality Shares, to launch two blockchain-related funds. Freidman's comments are not to be taken to mean that Nasdaq has a cryptocurrency exchange mechanism in the works. "I think that this is going to happen sooner rather than later," says the Reality Shares CEO.
