There is a movement to incorporate virtual money into the system in the United States. The world`s first virtual futures trading market opened in November last year, followed by Nasdaq, which is the world`s technology-oriented stock trading market. The work of assigning a credit rating to virtual money items such as bit coins is becoming a reality, and the task of attracting the virtual money market to the existing investment market is accelerating. In Korea, where controversy over virtual currency speculation has been amplified, there is a voice calling for not only neglecting the virtual money market, but also carefully selecting fields to cultivate bogs.

According to CNBC, the Nasdaq is preparing for a bitcoin futures trading following the Chicago Option Exchange (CBOE) and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME).

Adnan Friedman, CEO of Nasdaq, said in an interview in Switzerland that he was visiting the World Economic Forum (WEF) on Wednesday, "We are constantly reviewing ways to release virtual currency futures. , Whether it can apply appropriate regulations, and whether there are administrative risks. "

The Nasdaq beatcoin gift product is expected to be a different form of product from the Chicago Option Exchange and the Chicago Commodity Exchange last December.

Once a bitcoin gift is listed on Nasdaq, which is a large stock exchange with a technology stock, it will have a big impact on the virtual money market as it will greatly expand its investment base.

The credit evaluation work for each virtual money stock such as beat coin and etherium is also realizing. WISE RATINGS, the US credit rating agency, will unveil the world`s first credit rating for virtual money. It is expected to be bit coin, etherium, ripple, bit coin cache, light coin, stellar, and ios. We will set a credit rating based on an evaluation model that analyzes data on the technology, usability, and transaction patterns of each virtual currency.

It is noteworthy that the virtual money market, which is now in an opaque and overvalued state, provides objective data for investors to refer to.

Although it is the case in the United States, the pace of work to attract virtual money into the institutional investment market is accelerating, and it is necessary not to neglect the virtual money market in Korea but to strictly regulate the bump in the domestic market.

Professor of Korea University, president of the Korea Block Chain Association, said in a breakfast meeting hosted by the Special Committee on Industrial Revolution of the National Assembly, "We are preparing to launch the `Virtual Currency Technology Assessment Association` Before regulation, the public should provide analysis and evaluation reports and education so that they can identify which virtual currency is genuine and counterfeit." Especially, Professor In-he said, "When new technologies such as block chains appear, we must clarify the purpose and priorities of" why "and" prioritize."

It is also necessary for the securities companies to make a public announcement before the regulation on the virtual money market. Park Hyun-sun, a researcher at NH Investment & Securities, said, "Domestic virtual money investors are currently collecting data through virtual currency community because there is no reference to investment." Therefore, "He said.

Kim Jin-hwa, co-president of Korea Block Chain Association, said, "It is very problematic to say that new technologies are gambling only for the phenomenon." "Coins should provide information to investors and develop potential technologies with growth potential. He said.

The academia also decided to establish a valuation method for virtual currency value. Korea Block Chain Society decided to develop `Block Chain and Virtual Money Evaluation Technology` by creating "Virtual Money Technology Evaluation Association (tentative name)" soon. After evaluating the block chain technology at the association level, we will judge the authenticity of the virtual currency or evaluate the value.
