Despite its hype in the latter half of 2019, the performance of Bakkt has<\/a> been lackluster to say the least. Compared to competitors in the bitcoin futures and options markets like CME Group<\/a> and Deribit<\/a>, it has seen substantially low numbers in the last several months.<\/p>\n

Bakkt's options market has particularly seen a significantly lower daily volume<\/a> than Deribit, OKEx, CME, and LedgerX, falling behind its peers in both the U.S. and international markets.<\/p>\n

Is there a lack of institutional interest in bitcoin, or is it only Bakkt?<\/h2>\n

Throughout January, despite the 50 percent upsurge of Bitcoin, the options volume of Bakkt was virtually non-existent. It stayed close to zero for an entire week, raising questions on the involvement of institutions in the rally.<\/p>\n

However, given the high volume of Bakkt's competitors, an argument can be made that Bakkt is simply not appealing to accredited investors and institutions in the market.<\/p>\n

Su Zhu, the CEO of Three Arrows Capital, said that the largest shareholder of ICE asked about the low market share of Bakkt<\/a> over the Bitcoin options and futures markets.<\/p>\n

ICE, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, also operates Bakkt.<\/p>\n

Zhu said:<\/p>\n

“Had lunch with the largest shareholder of ICE last week. He asked why Bakkt isn't gaining more market share vs Bitmex, Deribit, etc. I said: 1) over-reliant on clearing brokers 2) can't margin in BTC 3) can't trade 24\/7 4) can't trade infinitesimal sizes 5) 10x more expensive.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For a good portion of 2019, Bakkt was one of the main narratives around the cryptocurrency market. It was often referred to as a key catalyst for the next upsurge of bitcoin as investors predicted it would serve as an important infrastructure for institutions.<\/p>\n

Yet, Bakkt has struggled to meet the expectations of investors and has been unable to catch up to CME Group in the futures market in terms of volume.<\/p>\n

Still nowhere enough<\/h2>\n

According to Bakkt Volume Bot, which tracks both the daily and weekly volume of the Bakkt bitcoin futures market, the company processed around $75 million worth of bitcoin futures contracts on a weekly basis in January and February.<\/p>\n

In sharp contrast, CME has been processing around<\/a> $500 million on a daily basis in the last two weeks, surpassing Bakkt with ease.<\/p>\n

Given the high volume of CME and the consistent inflow of capital into platforms like Coinbase Custody and\u00a0Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), it would be premature to claim that there is a lack of institutional demand for bitcoin.<\/p>\n

But, Bakkt is falling behind its fellow futures platforms and exchanges, which suggest that rather than the institutional demand for crypto being low, the issue may be exclusive to Bakkt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
