What is Bakkt?

About Bakkt

Bakkt is designed to enable consumers and institutions to seamlessly buy, sell, store and spend digital assets. Formed with the purpose of bringing trust, efficiency and commerce to digital assets, Bakkt seeks to develop open technology to connect existing market and merchant infrastructure to the blockchain.

Efficient

Buy, sell, store and spend digital assets within an efficient global ecosystem.

Seamless

An integrated global platform for trading, warehousing and commerce.

Secure

Leveraging Intercontinental Exchange’s market infrastructure, Bakkt is designed to bring regulated trading, clearing and warehousing.

Coming Soon

ICE Futures U.S. and ICE Clear U.S. plans to launch its first physically delivered bitcoin futures and warehouse in coordination with Bakkt, subject to regulatory review and approval. This will enable access for institutional investors via regulated market infrastructure.

Bakkt will announce further milestones in the near future.

 

Bakkt’s Custody Solution for BTC Will Need an Exemption from the CFTC

The report by Coinbase went on to explain that the CFTC might have to give an exemption to ICE for their custody solution of Bitcoin.

 [The] CFTC must grant an exemption for Bakkt’s plan to custody bitcoin on behalf of its clients in its own “warehouse,” according to sources familiar with regulatory discussions of the plan. CFTC regulations normally require that customer funds be held by a bank, trust company or futures commission merchant (FCM).

 

necessary approvals might not be fast enough for the anticipated January 24th launch date of Bakkt. Initially, Bakkt was meant to go live on the 12th of December but had to be pushed to the January date.

The Delay Might Just Be For a Few Days

However, according to sources privy of the matter, this does not mean the CFTC will not green-light Bakkt. What it means is that the launch of the new market might be pushed a few days forward due to the following two reasons.

• Bakkts custody solution for Bitcoin is a first for the CFTC
• Current US Government shutdown due to funding for the US-Mexico border wall
