Bitcoin enters the Swiss stock exchange

At the Swiss Exchange it will be able early to invest in bitcoin. Bank Vontobel is the first Swiss institution to apply to SIX for a title – lasting two years – for the virtual currency.

The first day of trading is expected to be on July 15, as in today's press release of the bank. In the meantime, investors can sell and buy the certificate on the secondary market.

The bitcoins are an electronic money used on the Internet without the presence of a central body. Who pays using this currency must simply know the bitcoin address of the recipient. The value varies depending on supply and demand.
