Chief Executive Officer of LedgerX, Paul Chou, in an interview with Bloomberg said that dozens and dozens of institutions got back to LedgerX saying they'd be interested in trading a contract like this.
"I understand $100,000 is a large number, but a lot of us who’ve been in this space remember Bitcoin at $1, and then it hit $10 and $100 and $10,000. A $100,000 contract doesn’t even make us blink," he added.
Earlier iHodl reported that bitcoin's price dropped below $10K mark, having opened the doors for the bears.
