Five reasons why Bakkt can't compete with BitMEX

The Bakkt bitcoin trading system is disadvantageous and overly cumbersome compared to the well-known BitMEX trading platform and other unregulated exchanges.

 

Su Zhu, CEO of Three Arrows Capital, gave five main reasons why Bakkt, the platform covered by the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), lags behind stock exchanges such as BitMEX and Deribit.

The project has not yet been able to approach the unregulated derivatives market, at least in terms of trading volumes, even though it was under the wing of the NYSE owner.

 

The reliance on clearing brokers and the lack of leverage at BTC dampens the enthusiasm of traders. The list of disadvantages does not end here. In addition to being ten times more expensive, Bakkt does not allow trading small amounts of BTC.
