Alert: To celebrate Bitcoin's 10-year white paper birthday, we are offering CoinDesk readers $400 off their ticket to Consensus: Invest until tonight, 11:59PM EST, October 31st. Register now. And by the way ... Here's a big reason to register. With more infrastructure being brought to market and the prospect of regulatory certainty, institutional interest in participating in the digital asset markets is rising. We're excited to announce that Jeff Sprecher, the Founder, Chairman and CEO of Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE: ICE) and Chairman of the New York Stock Exchange, and Kelly Loeffler, CEO of Bakkt, will be joining us at Consensus: Invest. In August, ICE announced the formation of Bakkt — with launch partners including Starbucks, Microsoft, and BCG — a new, federally-regulated global platform to buy, sell, store, and spend digital assets, beginning with Bitcoin. Subject to regulatory approval, Bakkt’s first phase will include physically delivered daily Bitcoin futures and a warehouse for keeping Bitcoin secure. What makes Bakkt’s regulated offering unique is that, unlike others, settlement will require the physical transfer of bitcoin and includes a secure means of storing digital assets, marking a major step forward in the development of the space for institutional investors. |
