Investment banking giant Goldman Sachs<\/a> is set to launch a bitcoin trading desk \u2013 a first for a major Wall Street bank.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn response to client interest in various digital products, we are exploring how best to serve them in the space," a Goldman Sachs spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

Goldman will not initially buy or sell actual bitcoins, but it will trade with clients in a variety of contracts linked to the volatile digital currency's price, the New York Times first reported.<\/p>\n

Matthew Newton, an analyst at eToro said: \u201cThis shouldnt come as a huge surprise to anyone who has been paying attention to cryptocurrencies over the last 18 months. Any forward-looking financial institution needs to understand this technology and accept its enormous potential.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will still take time for institutional investors to fully come around \u2013 and the fact that Goldman wont be buying or selling actual coins suggest some scepticism remains \u2013 but theres a growing acceptance that these assets are here to stay," Newton said.<\/p>\n

Last month, the bank hired a new head of digital assets, Justin Schmidt<\/a>, as it grappled with how to answer client demand for cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n
