The Bakkt Bitcoin Futures exchange, owned by Intercontinental Exchange, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, was inspired by the launch report.
In a report on Medium, CEO Kelly Loffler wrote that the coveted day is approaching and the startup is about to be approved by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC):
“Working with regulatory approvals, we take into account that the infrastructure we create increases the relevance and level of trust in digital assets. This is achieved by increasing their safety.
Like a marathon runner, we conduct long training sessions with the team. Day X is coming, and we still have a lot of work to do. I am proud to work with this team, which integrates digital assets into the current economy. ”
Speaking at BlockTV , CFTC Commissioner Dan Berkowitz noted that the Commission is working hard on all applications, including Bakkt. Despite some delays in the Bakkt application, the Commission deals with cryptoinnovations, trying to identify all the “bad guys” in advance.
“We believe that the development of these technologies will take some time. In the short term, the use of cryptocurrency is possible. In the long term – the introduction of the blockchain . "
Recently, the Bakkt team has been replenished with new employee Mike Blandina. This is a former software engineer for Silicon Valley, who will take the position of product director. He also worked as PayPal’s head of payments and credit design and Google Wallet’s Google Wallet Development Director.
The main task of the new employee is the real use of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency .
