What is the company’s attitude to cryptocurrencies? Goldman Sachs has previously traded bitcoin futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), but acting as a principal in over-the-counter transactions is fraught with great risk, the bank’s representatives said. Galaxy co-president Damien Vanderwilt added that Goldman Sachs’ decision to take on additional risk “implies their trust in crypto’s maturity.”
