Colleagues, the advent of the ICE Bakkt physically settled daily Bitcoin futures contract would bring cryptocurrencies to the mainstream for
institutional investors. The NYSE’s parent company, ICE, decided that a futures
contract rather than a security was the most efficient route to market given
the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s “self-certification” process when compared to the US SEC’s stringent
process for approving ETFs. Each futures
contract will be valued at one (1) Bitcoin – currently trading at $6319.09 USD held in the Bakkt Digital Asset
Warehouse. While
most investor attention has been focused on have cryptocurrencies categorized
as “securities” (under the auspices of the US SEC), the ICE Bakkt futures
scenario opens-up a new vehicle for the trade of digital assets. We anticipate
similar moves by the US CBOE and its counterparts in Europe and
Asia over the next 12 months. Post a comment today! Lawrence – Cryptocurrency
