Bakkt’s addition of Ethereum comes at a time of growing interest and adoption of cryptocurrencies. In its “U.S. Consumer Crypto Survey”2, Bakkt found nearly half of respondents had bought some form of cryptocurrency within the last year, underscoring the growing popularity of cryptocurrency. Many non-adopters also expressed interest in adopting the asset class before year end.
Now, in addition to bitcoin, partners can integrate with the Bakkt platform to enable their users to buy, sell and send Ethereum. Institutional clients can also choose the Bakkt Warehouse for custody of ether.
“At Bakkt, providing flexible opportunities for users to enjoy their digital assets is a top consideration, and adding Ethereum brings a popular and growing cryptocurrency to our roster,” said Bakkt CEO Gavin Michael. “Bakkt users have already enjoyed the app’s capabilities to leverage bitcoin and we are confident that our addition of Ethereum will be a complement to our growing ecosystem of partners and assets.”
Ethereum has grown in popularity over the past year, holding a sizeable share of the crypto market second only to bitcoin. By giving users greater opportunities to utilize their digital assets such as Ethereum, including buying, selling, spending and sending, Bakkt facilitates the flow of digital commerce in line with the company’s mission of connecting the digital economy.
Bakkt’s platform capabilities are also available to consumers through the Bakkt App. To download the Bakkt App, visit the App Store® and Google Play Store™.
