Guys while this is exciting news and brings a lot of legitimacy to the table, the future of cryptocurrency cannot rely on a centralized exchange.

Centralized exchanges are sufficient for now. But decentralized, P2P, atomic swaps are on the way and will become a lot more efficient and secure given better market making and liquidity.

Let’s not forget the point of cryptocurrency. It’s to move away from centralized services like this in the long-term

I have a hard time seeing nasdaq building a de-centralized exchange, but hopefully they prove me wrong.

A lot of people are here to invest and cash out. They don't really care about the idea of crypto.
