Topic: A small step for Bakkt, a big step in the blockchain

1.1 Bakkt born with "Golden Key"

Recently, Bakkt has made a small step forward to the futures market. The BTC may be stimulated by this news to rise slightly, breaking the volatility that lasted for several days. Adam White, Bakkt's chief operating officer, said in Medium that Bakkt's BTC futures contract will be tested on July 22nd, and details of monthly and daily contracts will be published to provide detailed solutions for market risks.

Bakkt is a digital asset trading platform led by the famous Intercontinental Exchange (ICE). ICE is the parent company of the 200-year-old New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In terms of revenue, NYSE is the second largest financial exchange in the world after the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME).

Bakkt's Series A financing received financial technology including Boston Consulting Group, CMT Digital, Eagle Seven, Galaxy Digital, Goldfinch Partners, Alan Howard, Horizons Ventures, Intercontinental Exchange, M12, Pantera Capital, Payu, Naspers, and Protocol Ventures. The investment of $182 million in 12 well-known institutions within the company was valued at $740 million.

M12 is a venture capital subsidiary of Microsoft. Horizons Ventures is an investment fund of Li Ka-shing. Naspers is the South African media giant and the parent company of Tencent's largest shareholder, MIH. Judging from the lineup of investment institutions, Bakkt has both been supported by traditional secondary market investment funds and supported by the Citation Industry Investment Fund.

1.2 Bakkt's “Apollo Program”

Bakkt writes on the front page of his official website: Building the future of digital asset infrastructure, Bakkt is a regulated ecosystem that provides storage, transactions and other services to institutions, businesses and consumers.

Bakkt Chief Operating Officer Adam White compared Bakkt to the Apollo mission to the moon. "This is not a small step. The official launch of futures contracts will bring new standards to investors entering the encryption market."

CME and CBOT (Chicago Board of Trade) listed BTC futures use cash delivery, while Bakkt will launch BTC futures as a real-time delivery of futures products, real-time delivery requires futures contracts to expire, BTC spot is liquidated.

1.3 Bakkt or an important milestone

Although Bakkt comes with a halo, its road to compliance has been very rough . Bakkt was originally planned to be launched in November 2018, postponed until December 22, and finally extended to January 24, 2019, but until now it has not been able to determine the final launch time.

Bakkt will also face more intense competition. In May 2019, CME announced that BTC futures trading volume and open interest reached new highs. ErisX Exchange will also provide "solid delivery" futures. Erisx has received $47.5 million in Series B financing from 22 investors and is expected to reach out to 11 million retail customers through a partnership with TD Ameritrade. CoinFLEX also offers BTC futures for real delivery. Currently, its futures contract has been operating for two months. CoinFLEX's parent company is the UK's old BTC exchange CoinFloor.

Bakkt has stricter standards in terms of compliance and security. Once it is online, it can attract mainstream institutions to enter the market. The launch of Bakkt Futures will help increase the likelihood of BTC ETF approval, or it will become an important milestone for BTC to be further accepted by the mainstream world.
