Naheta previously played a key role in investments involving ARM, Auto1, and Nvidia and later founded DTR.
Bakkt is collaborating with DTR to integrate stablecoin payments into its trading infrastructure.
Bakkt appointed Akshay Naheta as co-CEO alongside Andy
Main and announced a partnership with Distributed Technologies
Research (DTR). This collaboration aims to integrate stablecoin
payments with Bakkt’s existing trading infrastructure, potentially reshaping
cross-border transactions in the digital asset space.
Stablecoin Integration to Expand Bakkt’s Offerings
Naheta, a seasoned executive with extensive experience
in finance and technology, will reportedly assume his new role on March 21, 2025. His
background includes senior positions at SoftBank, where he played a key role in
investments involving ARM, Auto1, and Nvidia.
More recently, he founded DTR to improve global payment systems through stablecoins. According to the company, his expertise in
blockchain and financial markets makes him a valuable addition to Bakkt’s
leadership.
Bakkt’s new commercial agreement with DTR seeks to
merge the strengths of both companies. The firm expects DTR’s stablecoin infrastructure to complement its crypto trading and brokerage services by providing more
efficient payment solutions.

Pending regulatory approvals, the initiative is also expected to unlock new revenue streams while enhancing the speed and
reliability of global transactions.
Regulatory and Market Implications
Naheta echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the role of
stablecoins in shaping the future of finance. "I founded DTR with the vision
that stablecoins provide unparalleled efficiency and utility in shaping the
future of payment systems," he said.
"The partnership between Bakkt and DTR will capitalize
on their respective strengths, and I am excited to work with both teams as we
begin to address the growing demand from customers for fast and efficient
crypto infrastructure and payment solutions in the U.S. and globally."
As the partnership moves forward, Bakkt is currently preparing
to navigate the regulatory landscape surrounding stablecoins. The integration
of DTR’s technology is subject to approvals, and the broader adoption of
stablecoin-based payments will depend on evolving market and regulatory
conditions.
Despite these challenges, Bakkt expressed optimism about the move, describing it as a
major step toward positioning it as a key player in institutional crypto
trading and payments. By combining Naheta’s leadership with the strategic DTR
partnership, the company is now aiming for growth in an
increasingly digital financial ecosystem.
