Bakkt writes on Medium that “As detailed in the ICE Futures U.S. filing with the CFTC today, bitcoin futures will be listed on a federally regulated futures exchange in the coming months.”

They also write that they will be working closely with their customers over the next several weeks in order to prepare to user acceptance testing (UAT) for futures and custody which are expected to start in July.

The new Bitcoin futures contracts have been shaped by the conversations with the stakeholders and they provide unique trading, security and risk management features.

The Twitter community gets excited

The Twitter community got all excited at the news and crypto enthusiasts understand that something big is about to hit the crypto market.

An excited user made a point and said “Bakkt also expected to launch several times earlier this year and last year. The article doesn’t clarify for the Layman whether or not CFTC approval has been obtained. Any crypto lawyers wanna chime in? @jchervinsky”

At the moment, Bitcoin is racing again and it’s currently priced at $7,453.79 on CoinMarketCap.

Another person said “I said Back in December that when the bull market is confirmed, Bakkt will miraculously obtain the regulatory approval that they claimed was holding up the December launch. Coincidence????”

People are also expecting an XRP explosion.

Stay tuned for more info on what’s going on in the crypto market.
