Bakkt, the physically-backed Bitcoin Futures contracts company, has recently confirmed that they are testing the consumer app for retail crypto traders. They are expanding their area of services to a wider level and trying to capture the retail traders besides institution investors which are already using the Bakkt services in futures trading.

Bakkt has started its journey in 2019 and the initial progress was not satisfactory and effective as it happened with most of the startups at their early stages. Bakkt made a comeback into the crypto markets with a good surge as it reached its highest recorded position on Nov.8. Now, they have planned to take a step further to expand the area of its services for traders as well as investors.

The news for launching the application for consumers was just a possibility and not a confirmed announcement on the part of the company. But, now, it is confirmed because Bakkt has informed their community subscribers that the application is in the testing stage in the ‘insider email’.
