..... Bakkt—a play on the word ‘backed’ from the phrase ‘asset-backed securities’—is Specher’s latest venture, and aims to achieve nothing short of making bitcoin a trusted global currency by creating a federally-regulated crypto ecosystem. This vision is supported by Microsoft, who will lend its cloud expertise; Starbucks, which will help pioneer mobile payment, and the Boston Consulting Group, who will assist ICE in forming the new company—an all-in-one bitcoin exchange for trading, custody and delivery, that will use ICE’s existing trading infrastructure to cater to retail investors, institutional investors and consumers. With the full force of these industry leaders behind them, the launch is planned for November, after fourteen months of behind the scenes preparation by founder Specher and his wife Kelly Loeffler, who is Bakkt CEO.

Will be interesting to see how the battle between corporations and individual entrepreneurs plays out.

This is good news for all Crypto lovers, if this succeeds, then we are all in for a fruitful reward, but I think the 401k price tag is way too optimistic, maybe we take it as it comes.http://fortune.com/longform/nyse-owner-bitcoin-exchange-startup |
