Besides BTC and LTC, Cryptostocks also trades securities denominated in DVC. As far as I know, it is the only exchange with DVC-denominated securities.

nice list/idea

you could call bitcointalk.org a exchange too as several business/projects/securites start and announce and release shares just as forum posts.

    I'm interested in learning more about
crypto-currency based securities exchanges (not positive there isn't a better term for them, but we can discuss). Generally, referring to any securities exchange website that doesn't trade currency pairs, but rather shares of stock, bonds, options, futures, etc. where the unit of denomination is Bitcoin, Litecoin, etc.

A big question I have is: ownership. For example, take a security like: ASICMINER. This security seems to trade on multiple exchanges, at roughly similar prices, however, since no central "authority" exists, and these shares aren't traded in a 'block-chain' how is 'ownership' denominated, or transferred? Is it just a database entry on each exchange?? Can shares be transferred between exchanges? Who controls the float across multiple exchanges?

I would like to create a guide on ownership, denomination, dividends, ex. date, etc. and I'll try to keep this thread up-to-date with information I find.

To begin I've started a short list of known exchanges.

I know there are a lot more out there, so please reply, and I'll add them.


Exchanges Alphabetical Order:
Going to try to add "24 HR Average Reported Volume" (ARV) to the list...so if you know where to find these stats please say so.[/list]
