Bitcoin, the virtual money, is being recognised by the world’s biggest banks and as a result, its acceptance is increasing each day. These developments are indicating that slowly and gradually, Bitcoin will be adopted into your daily financial activities.
The digital currencies have now been given the status of an official commodity by the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The Commission said that Bitcoin operators must register their companies immediately.

The 9 banks that are a part of this agreement are JP Morgan, , Credit Suisse, BBVA, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, State Street, UBS, Royal Bank of Scotland, Goldman Sachs, and Barclays.
