The CEO then shifted matters to the announcement:“Today I have an announcement to make. Cantor Fitzgerald is here to announce that we are launching a Bitcoin financing business. We will offer leverage to those who own Bitcoin. We are going to launch with $2 billion of lending.”


While the details of the lending business haven’t yet been announced, the fact that Cantor Fitzgerald is ponying up a $2 billion war chest for the endeavor could serve as a bullish signal for other financial institutions and the market in general.


In closing, Lutnick added that “the moral of the story is we are going to welcome Bitcoin into the financing family of the global financial market and Cantor Fitzgerald’s going to be your sponsor.”
