Earlier this month, Perth multimillionaire Zhenya Tsvetnenko listed his own bitcoin enterprise, Digital CC Holdings, on the Australian Securities Exchange - one of the first listings on a major stock exchange of a bitcoin-related company.
Digital CC trades the digital currency on behalf of clients though a service called digitalBTC. It is also developing a bitcoin debit card and mobile apps that will allow customers to hold digital currencies in a virtual wallet.
"We think that digital currencies are the future," Mr Tsvetnenko said in an email.
Bitcoin could be "a major global currency", he said, allowing users to "transact across borders without the complication of exchange rates, banks and other intermediaries and fees".
