The first day of Bakkt\u2019s<\/a> Bitcoin<\/a> futures saw less than 2 percent of the CME\u2019s debut day trading volume, prompting speculation over whether the highly anticipated contract will deliver on its mission of being a \u201ckey piece of infrastructure\u201d in the cryptocurrency market.<\/p>\n

By close Monday, a total of 72 BTC were traded on Bakkt. The trading represents 1\/75 the volume seen on December 2017 when CME\u2019s cash-settled futures launched, which saw notional contracts of 5,298 BTC traded on open day, noted Alex Kruger<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Just 1 of Bakkt\u2019s 72 BTC volume was traded on the daily contract, the company\u2019s initially announced flagship offering with all other volume taking place on the monthly futures market.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the hold-up?<\/h2>\n

Since its announcement<\/a> in August 2018, the physically delivered futures product has been promoted<\/a> by InterContinental Exchange-owned Bakkt as the answer to \u201ctrusted price formation\u201d in the crypto futures markets, undoubtedly in contrast to its cash-settled competitor CME (with CBOE, the only other regulated BTC futures product, shuttering in March 2019<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Bakkt weathered a series of delays in bringing the product to market, ultimately launching 10 months later than scheduled<\/a> after regulatory hiccups prevented the company from obtaining a trust license from the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), key to its qualification as a regulated custodian.<\/p>\n

CME with its cash-settled product poses a worthy rival in the regulated Bitcoin futures market, traditionally seeing robust and steadily increasing volumes. In August the company hit headlines when trading was up 130 percent year-to-date<\/a> with an average daily volume of 7,237 contracts, or 36,185 BTC, and shortly after announced<\/a> it would be adding Bitcoin options contracts in 2020.<\/p>\n

As such the success of Bakkt\u2019s contract has been widely supposed to depend on institutional interest in Bitcoin exposure. Physical delivery is a unique feature in the futures market, as pointed out by Kruger.<\/p>\n

Physically settled Bitcoin futures may be fundamentally more useful than cash-settled contracts to key market participants. According<\/a> to Genesis Capital CEO Michael Moro, the nature of the product gives market-makers a pure hedge in the eyes of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), something the CME contract cannot deliver.<\/p>\n

Granted, it may entirely unreasonable to measure against the explosive debut of the CME product\u2014success which has been suggested<\/a> by many to have been fuelled by institutions aiming to collapse push down the price of Bitcoin from its all-time-high for a tidy profit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
