The announcement says that so far, Pantera Capital, Galaxy Digital, and Tagomi have chosen Bakkt Warehouse as their custodian.
“A critical link — perhaps the critical link — in the institutional adoption of bitcoin is custody,” the post explains. “When investors have ready access to regulated custodians whose security and processes they trust, the full potential of this emerging asset class and technology can flourish.”
“[...] How do we know that we can have custody and have a hold of these crypto assets?” he asked during an interview with CNBC. “That’s a key question.”
Bakkt’s launch was not as significant as many thought it would be
The expansion of Bakkt’s custody offerings is a good sign for the futures exchange, which — despite recent upticks in trading volume — has been a bit underwhelming since its September launch.
Indeed, when trading on Bakkt went live, the exchange saw just $5.8 million in trading volume within its first 24 hours. The figure was far lower than a number of industry analysts and participants had predicted it would be.
Indeed, more than half of respondents on a Twitter poll conducted by economist Alex Krüger said that they believed that Bakkt would see a “successful launch” rather than a flop.
Bakkt's first week volume was approximately $5.8 million.
It managed to get traders interested in 5 bitcoin worth of its physically delivered daily futures. Quite the successful launch.
— Alex Krüger (@krugermacro) September 29, 2019
After trading volume failed to meet expectations, however, Krüger tweeted that the low volume surrounding the launch could be the result of “either poor marketing, bad execution, few care (sic), or a combination of these factors. I can only speculate.”
A slow climb
However, it seems that interest in Bakkt trading has been picking up — albeit, not as quickly as many had hoped.
Indeed, on November 9, the exchange announced that it had set a new daily trading volume record of 1,756 Bitcoin Futures contracts traded in a single day.
Today we set a new daily record of 1,756 Bakkt Bitcoin Futures contracts traded
Charles Phan, CTO at cryptocurrency exchange Interdax, said to Finance Magnates that “this represents around $15.5 million in volume.”
However, while $15.5 million in trading volume may be a new record for Bakkt, it is quite paltry when compared to other trading platforms: “$15.5 million is anywhere between 10 times to 100 times smaller than the volume of the dominant cryptocurrency exchanges,” Phan said.
Indeed, at press time, cryptocurrency derivatives exchange volume on OKEx (Futures), Huobi DM, and BitMEX was above $2 billion. Trading volume on CoinFLEX (Futures), another physically-settled cryptocurrency derivatives exchange, was over $395 million.
Data from CoinGecko, accessed 12.11.2019.
At press time, Bakkt’s 24-hour trading volume was just over $12.6 million, or about 1440 BTC.
∙ Today's volume so far: 1438 BTC ($12,618,450)
∙ Last traded price: $8,775
∙ Trading day progress: 83%
∙ Current daily Bakktarget™: 1527 BTC ($13,402,948)
Phan explained to Finance Magnates that the increase in volume could be the result of market makers.
“Market makers arbitrage across exchanges so it’s not surprising to see that Bakkt might be picking up volume from other places,” he said.
“As volume continues to increase in the bitcoin market from the October lows, one consequence is that arbitrageurs might be trading more using Bakkt’s contracts. Any institutional investors in the market will also contribute to Bakkt’s volumes.”
“It’s not demand yet, it’s intense curiosity”
However, the low volume upon the launch of Bakkt (as well as the slow climb in trading volume that has followed) could be signals of a general lack of serious institutional demand in cryptocurrency.
Indeed, the lack of excitement around the launch of Bakkt was preceded by another “flop” — in the weeks running up to the SEC’s decision on its Bitcoin ETF application, Van Eck launched a “BTF,” a sort of pseudo-Bitcoin ETF that was available to Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs).
However, three days after its launch, Alex Krüger pointed out that just $41,400 had been invested in the BTF — hardly the “wave” that the industry had been waiting for.

This caused a number of individuals within the industry to begin to question the narrative of the “wave of institutional capital” that was just around the corner for Bitcoin.
And indeed, when Bakkt was launched, Jeff Sprecher, founder and CEO of the Intercontinental Exchange (Bakkt’s parent institution) told Fortune that he wouldn’t go so far as to say that institutional investors are ready to buy into Bakkt’s offerings just yet: “it’s not demand yet, it’s intense curiosity,” he said.
“It’s the sense that money managers want to be at the front of this train and not left out. The day-to-day news covers Bitcoin when the prices go way up or way down, but underneath we see sophisticated people investing in infrastructure and compliance that’s unrelated to the price,” Sprecher continued. “But they won’t use that infrastructure; there won’t be true global acceptance until we can build out the rails in a regulated manner.”
However, Alex Krüger had a different take: “institutional money already trades lots of bitcoin .... just not the type of institutions who are long term holders,” he wrote on Twitter.
Institutional money already trades lots of bitcoin .... just not the type of institutions who are long term holders.
Still, while “Bakkt’s growing liquidity is a positive sign,” Phan said that the platform “still has a way to go before it becomes a venue that dictates bitcoin’s price action or has a significant influence on it.”

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.

In this conversation, we speak with Aydin Bonabi, CEO and co-founder of Surveill, a firm focused on fraud detection and AI-driven compliance tools for financial institutions.
We start with Aydin’s view of the Summit and the challenges brokers face as fraud tactics grow more complex. He explains how firms can stay ahead through real-time signals, data patterns, and early-stage detection.
We also talk about AI training and why compliance teams often struggle to keep models accurate, fair, and aligned with regulatory expectations. Aydin breaks down what “good” AI training looks like inside a financial environment, including the importance of clean data, domain expertise, and human oversight.
He closes with a clear message: fraud is scaling, and so must the tools that stop it.

Interview with Jas Shah
Builder | Adviser | Fintech Writer | Product Strategist
In this episode, Jonathan Fine sat down with Jas Shah, one of the most thoughtful voices in global fintech. Known for his work across advisory, product, stablecoins, and his widely read writing, Jas brings a rare combination of industry insight and plain-spoken clarity.
We talk about his first impression of the Summit, the projects that keep him busy today, and how they connect to the stablecoin panel he joined. Jas shares his view on the link between fintech, wealthtech and retail brokers, especially as firms like Revolut, eToro and Trading212 blur long-standing lines in the market.
We also explore what stablecoin adoption might look like for retail investment platforms, including a few product and UX angles that are not obvious at first glance.
To close, Jas explains how he thinks about writing, and how he approaches “shipping” pieces that spark debate across the industry.
