Bitcoin News Today and leading story for the day is the announcement that Fisco, a Japanese financial information company, announced that they have issued a Bitcoin bond. Since the Japanese made Bitcoin legal tenders in April 2017 much progress has been made in terms of adoption of the digital asset. A Bitcoin-backed bond would allow large institutions to store value and be more accepting of Bitcoin.
Digital Assets are getting closer to traditional investments. Just recently, it was reported that Bitcoin options, futures and an exchange-traded fund that track Bitcoin derivatives in the U.S. could be available. ETF's being listed on the stock exchange is only a matter of time.

Good reporting, @bit-media. Not too surprising about the bonds in Japan.
I especially like this part:
ETF's are the way to go for those with less than $1000 to invest. With as little as $5 allowing you to buy a bitcoin ETF, anyone can get into it.
