This includes consistent standards for compliance, with anti-money laundering and know-your-customer rules, market surveillance, and reporting standards at the federal regulation level, subject to final review and approval by the U.S. CFTC.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/bakkt\/\">Bakkt<\/a> will reportedly incorporate multiple layers of physical and technological security into its Bitcoin warehouses\u2013including the storage of Bitcoin in offline digital warehouses. Sales of Bitcoin futures through Bakkt will be pre-funded to reduce the possibility of default. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Beefing Up Security Measures<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Loeffler says the current futures market will serve as another layer of security in this new Bitcoin marketplace, adding security to the products being sold by adding physical security measures like biometrics as well as regulatory reporting requirements and participation agreements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">She also notes that Bakkt will not employ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/i\/isda-master-agreement.asp\"><span class=\"s2\">ISDA agreements<\/span><\/a> used in \u201cover-the-counter\u201d swaps markets. Instead, the company plans to utilize physically delivered Bitcoin futures contracts as its first offerings. A customer will be able to buy a contract one day and receive Bitcoin delivered to their account the next day, using the existing security measures and backbone of the financial futures market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In Loeffler's closing paragraph, she said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWhile there are many aspects of Bakkt that we\u2019ll continue to develop and share, our initial focus is supporting regulated institutions in serving customers in this emerging asset class.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The twin issues of spotty security and lack of governmental regulation have plagued cryptocurrencies practically since their inception.
