The exchange platform, TD Ameritrade has more than eleven million active users with rights to trade Bitcoin futures on the Chicago Board Exchange. If Litecoin should penetrate this market, there will be a significant rise in adoption and price. Litecoin will not just be benefiting from TD Ameritrade. It will also be benefiting from the collaboration between TD Ameritrade and ErisX.
ErisX is a digital currency exchange that is regulated in futures and spot trades. The collaboration may become the next big thing that will attract institutional investors to the industry. Adding Litecoin to the mix will lead to stability and subsequent rise in price. However, this isn’t going to happen this year. Investors will have to wait a while as ErisX is scheduled to start trading during the first quarter of next year. Futures trading will come much later in the year. Investors are hoping that including Litecoin and Ethereum in the Futures market will have a ripple effect of the cryptocurrency market as a whole.
