In the coming week, Bakkt is expected to test-launch its Bitcoin (BTC)<\/a> futures product. While many have begun to doubt its viability as a medium for institutional adoption, especially due to the countless delays it faced, this may not be the case.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, the team at Fundstrat Global Advisors, a New York-based markets analysis firm with roots in the cryptocurrency space, attended the Bakkt Institutional Digital Asset Summit that was hosted by the New York Stock Exchange.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/twitter.com\/fundstratQuant\/status\/60917504<\/p>\n

And per an analysis from Sam Doctor of Fundstrat, institutions and other entities in attendance were not only bullish on Bakkt, but the broader Bitcoin and cryptocurrency market too.<\/p>\n

Institutions Hyped for Bakkt’s Bitcoin Futures<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In a recent Fundstrat research note posted to Twitter,<\/a> Doctor explained that per his first-hand experience of the event, which saw representatives from over 150 investors and institutions attend, there is “institutional anticipation” for Bakkt’s Bitcoin futures, slated to be the first U.S.-regulated vehicle of its sort that is physically delivered. He wrote:<\/p>\n

“As we have written before, Bakkt tackles many of the barriers to adoption for traditional investors seeking to expand their mandate to include crypto.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He goes on to write that there “appears to be a critical mass of adopters ready to come on board on Day 1 of the Bakkt launch”, noting that the firm’s sales team is starting to ramp up discussions with everyone from brokers and market makers.<\/p>\n

He thus confirms that should the hype translate into actual investment, the long-expected launch of the Bitcoin product, which will give many institutions their first taste of so-called “physical” BTC, could be a “huge” catalyst for the growth of this already budding market.<\/p>\n

This news comes hot on the heels of reports that claimed that ErisX and LedgerX<\/a>, two competitors of Bakkt, had secured the proper licenses<\/a> from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) that will allow these upstart crypto exchanges to also list Bitcoin futures.<\/p>\n

Bakkt Pay?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In related news, according to a recent report from\u00a0trade publication<\/a> The Block, Bakkt has recently signed a new employee that may be working on a digital asset wallet.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the company made a series of hires, indicated by the \u201ccareers\u201d section on its website. One job listing called for a mobile app developer, sparking discussion about Bakkt\u2019s plans post-Bitcoin futures.<\/p>\n

The Block\u2019s sources say that following the release of the long-awaited financial vehicle, the crypto platform may launch the mobile application. Not many details were given about this product, but the outlet points out that Bakkt\u2019s recently-updated website mentions digital payments. An excerpt from Bakkt.com reads:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether between consumers and merchants or peers, the ability to conduct transactions in digital assets holds promise as a these new global currencies evolve beyond a store of value or speculative assets, and as distributed ledger technology scales. Bakkt is working with leading merchants who recognize the potential of digital assets.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Earlier reports have suggested that Starbucks may be one of the users of Bakkt’s eventual payments solution, which is most likely to involve Bitcoin.<\/p>\n
