NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Even as mainstream awareness aboutbitcoin and its possibilities has grown over the past year, the digital currency's volatility has become a cause of worry for investors.

New this week that a bitcoin exchange in Hong Kong had suddenly closed, taking with it some $386 million worth of investors' money, mark the latest in a long list of hacks and scandals that have plagued the currency. It's also further evidence of what critics say are fundamental problems with the currency.

Williams says the currency has a number of structural flaws that have helped to undermine trust.

The nascent industry of bitcoin derivatives got a high-profile boost on Wednesday, as a London-based trading platform was launched by ex-employees of some of the world's leading investment banks.

Crypto Facilities was set up by former bankers from Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, BNP Paribas and Societe Generale.

The platform pitches itself as a broker which specializes in bitcoin derivatives, and trades financial products like options and futures which are directly linked to the price of the cryptocurrency. Thus, it allows users to "go long" and bet that the price of bitcoin will rise, or "go short" and bet the price will fall.

Timo Schlaefer, the co-founder and CEO, was previously the executive director of credit quantitative modeling at Goldman Sachs in London. Speaking to CNBC via telephone Wednesday, he said he had worked for the investment bank for ten years but left to create this brokerage firm.

"I really wanted to help this industry develop and bring the experience that I have," he said.

Schlaefer added that he saw real potential in the technology behind bitcoin - the block chain - which is a publicly-distributed ledger system which makes sure all transactions are verified in a transparent, decentralized and secure fashion.

Crypto Facilities is officially regulated by the U.K.'s Financial Conduct Authority. However, the regulator only oversees the company's traditional derivative operations, as there are not yet any official regulations on the digital currency in the country.

Like Schlaefer, the Bank of England has also said it sees huge potential for the technology behind the digital currency bitcoin.
