What's the legality of this operation in terms of your base of operation and location of customers you are serving? Did you guys have to get a MSB license or similar oversight? Or do you think this falls into an unregulated area?

Edit: I also wanted to add, are you serving as counterparty to any customer transactions (for providing liquidity) or are you working with any sort of market makers?

We only support Bitcoin derivative instruments, which we believe to be under the CFTC's jurisdiction (http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/7/2).

Did you guys already get registered as a designated contract market?
