As Bloomberg reports, Nasdaq Inc. held the meeting as a way to "Get the industry on the on the path to legitimacy."
Nasdaq confirmed that the event took place, but declined to comment, Bloomberg notes.
An unnamed source "Familiar with the event" told Bloomberg that this was just the beginning of such meetings.

Earlier, in April, Friedman said that the stock market giant could become a platform for trading cryptocurrencies in the future, if the market becomes more regulated.
