Bitcoin futures markets are booming, posting record numbers yesterday across the board. Bakkt also managed to break its previous all-time high in trading volume.
Wednesday was a good day for Bitcoin. Futures trading volume saw an increase as did Bitcoin’s own price. It is now safely above the $7,000 support level.Source link hereOkay so I got no problem with Bakkt's rising trade volume whatsoever, but there is one thing that I am kinda concerned.
Of course, Bitcoin has a good day yesterday. But I honestly believe that it might go even lower because of PlusToken's dumping of their BTC and ETH earnings.
It's a good thing for Bakkt to break it's all-time high and they're definitely on a momentum. I'm just looking forward on what is going to happen next with Bakkt starting next year onward.
I think that it's amazing how a project that was pretty much stillborn turned out successful after all. Moreover, I believe it's a good thing that at least something Bitcoin-related is gaining popularity and that its interests are now represented in the US government even (the Bakkt CEO). But is all that necessarily good for Bitcoin? I am not sure of that. I think that an important part of Bitcoin is its free market. Futures are oriented on quite the opposite, as far as I know. They offer to ignore the real market conditions and agree in advance about the buy/sell transactions. In this sense, the popularity of Bakkt might even harm Bitcoin if the former gets very popular.
