Digital currency platforms are now in use to process trades involving virtual
currencies and other financial products. Enterprises such as LedgerX and TeraExchange
are now seeking full regulatory approval to use the cryptographically-based distributed
computer networks pioneered by digital currency systems for use to support financial
trading exchanges and markets. These systems will be subject to full regulatory
oversight, as our existing traditional financial markets. The key capabilities of the
digital currency platforms include security, transaction history transparency, and cost
efficiency. Those characteristics can make valuable contributions to the future success
of financial markets.
