Bakkt's performance is clearly due to China's choice to formally adopt blockchain technology. When bankruptcy later last week, Bitcoin responded immediately to a local high of $10,500.

Novogratz: Hosting services will inspire institutional interest

Despite this, Bakkt's success is even more significant than the September release. As reported at the time, people had different opinions on Bakkt's bitcoin futures. The first day trading volume was only 71 BTC (then was about $700,000).

Since then, fluctuations in bitcoin prices have caused the company to be criticized by market pressure. One executive told the mainstream media that Bakkt futures are helping to find bitcoin prices.

In the near future, industry insiders believe that institutional tools will continue to support Bitcoin. Mike Novogratz, founder of continuous investors, billionaires and cryptocurrency commercial bank Galaxy Digital, predicted in an interview last week, especially for investors' hosting solutions. Appearance will stimulate more influx.

Bakkt is preparing to announce bitcoin-regulated options trading on Wednesday, preparing to launch a hosted service. Novogratz also brings its products to market.

In addition, Bakkt plans to launch consumer-facing applications in the first half of 2020 to help customers use cryptocurrencies for small transactions. Bakkt chief product officer Mike Blandina wrote in a blog post that the company is developing an app to support consumers in the use of digital assets when buying goods from merchants.

Blandina stated in the article:

“We are now focusing on the development of consumer applications and merchant portals, as well as testing with our first partner, Starbucks, and expect to launch this service in the first half of next year.”
