Bakkt’s bitcoin futures will be exchange-traded on ICE Futures U.S. and
cleared on ICE Clear US, which are federally regulated by the CFTC.
Regulated exchanges differ from trading platforms, such as crypto spot
markets in many respects, including risk management, compliance and
market surveillance.
