This year The Willink School were joined by Woking College, Wilmington Grammar School for Boys, Reading Blue Coat, Henley College, and for the first time a number of students who took part independently.

Coming in a close second with a silver award was Dan Aked (Henley College) and Harry Shivas, and the bronze prize was awarded to Matt Whitehouse and Matt Gough (Reading Blue Coat).

The adoption of futures contracts on Bitcoin: A new era of cryptocurrency

27 November 2017
According to the Financial Times, 31st October 2017, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) is expected to offer cash-settled futures contracts on Bitcoin by the end of 2017. CME, the world’s largest exchange by market value, has offered futures contracts on agricultural products, metals, energy, equity indexes, foreign exchange rates, interest rates, real estate, and even weather. With the increasing popularity of cryptocurrencies, the CME has finally decided to enter into the unregulated digital asset market. Futures contracts on Bitcoin may help investors to either hedge or speculate on the future price of Bitcoin. Because almost all futures contracts are cash-settled in CME, traders do not need to actually deliver Bitcoin.
