Bitcoin bonds begin building bigger bridges for institutional investors

The launch of the world’s first regulated Bitcoin bond is changing the name of the game. Such bonds can help investors minimize the risk of volatility; in addition, cutting out exchange rates now allows investors to keep more of their gains while trading in a trusted product.

LBX is the prime broker for this new option, managing the incoming buys and monthly payouts for the Bitcoin bond.
