💹 Jamaica Stock Exchange plans to pilot Bitcoin and Ether trading

The Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE) is preparing to offer a trial period for trading Bitcoin ($BTC) and Ether ($ETH) with help from Canadian fintech firm Blockstation. The two companies announced today that they have agreed to collaborate on enabling live trading of digital assets including security tokens in a “regulated and secured” environment. This effort is the second stage of the pilot effort. For the first phase, the JSE and Blockstation trialed live crypto trading in January 2019 for 60 days that saw participation from regulated broker-dealers, market makers and the Jamaica Central Securities Depository.
