Goldman Sachs is considering providing Bitcoin services to customers

Referring to unnamed sources, the Wall Street Journal reports that Goldman is in the early stages of the effort, although it warned that the bank could eventually move to a trade operation focused on cryptocurrency. Further, the magazine adds that the trading operation can see the contribution from more than one office within Goldman.

Representatives of Goldman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But the press secretary told the Journal that, in the light of interest from the clients of the bank, they were exploring how best to service them in the cryptocurrency area.

The fact that customers can request more access to the cryptocurrency markets through the bank, directly, perhaps, is not surprising, given the past steps from the bank.

Since this summer, Goldman analysts have begun predictive notes on the bitcoin market, and the chief technician Sheba Jafari markedly predicted the growth of bitcoin for $ 4,800. And in a report on problems and answers published in August, Goldman analysts wrote that "real dollars are at work here and warrant watching."
