Investment bank Goldman Sachs Group plans to offer investors options and futures trading in ether, according to a report.
- The bank plans to offer trading in ether the months ahead, Mathew McDermott, the head of digital assets at Goldman Sachs told Bloomberg.
- In May, it emerged that Goldman Sachs had started offering investors access to non-deliverable forwards (NDFs), a derivative tied to bitcoin’s price that pays out in cash.
- McDermott said clients see the recent rout as a good entry point and that the bank also plans to facilitate trades via exchange-traded notes tracking ether.
- In March, Goldman Sachs relaunched its cryptocurrency trading desk after a three-year hiatus, with plans to once again support bitcoin futures trading.
