<h2>Inactivity In January</h2>
Although Bitcoin derivatives of Bakkt are considered to be the catalyst for an institution-led bull market, it was still not able to meet the expected impact. 

It is being believed that this happened because this year in January, Bakkt remained inactive completely. But recently, as the platform experienced a surge of 36 percent, it could be said that now, the institutions are warming up.

This increase in volume has been good news for Bakkt, but when its volume is compared to CME’s, the derivatives company’s performance is not considered to be that good.

On September 15, CME recorded the trading volume of Bitcoin Futures which reached above $262 million. 

It is to be noted that Bakkt usually settles the contracts physically on its platform, however, this is not the case with the CME, whose contracts are cash-settled products.
