### "CUSTODY
Secure storage is at the core of what we do. With state-of-the-art physical and cyber security, institutional grade technology and governance, and backed by insurance for digital assets held in frozen wallets, Bakkt is delivering a new standard in digital asset custody by leveraging the cybersecurity tools on which the NYSE relies."
### "FUTURES
We’re partnering with ICE’s leading futures exchange and clearing infrastructure to bring physical delivery futures contracts to market participants in >30 countries. Participants will undergo applicable AML/KYC reviews, consistent with CFTC-regulated markets and connect via ICE’s existing infrastructure."
### "PAYMENTS
Whether between consumers and merchants or peers, the ability to conduct transactions in digital assets holds promise as these new global currencies evolve beyond a store of value or speculative assets, and as distributed ledger technology scales. Bakkt is working with leading merchants who recognize the potential of digital assets."
### "COMPLIANCE
Bakkt’s focus on compliance spans all aspects of our operations. Whether AML and KYC at the institutional and consumer level, or on-chain analytics and surveillance for all crypto deposits and withdrawals, we will be continuously adding to ensure ours is the most robust, trusted platform. In addition, Bakkt will routinely participate in financial and security audits, as well as regulatory compliance reviews."
# "FUTURES LAUNCH
The new bitcoin futures contracts have been shaped by our conversations with stakeholders, and offer unique trading, security and risk management features.
Two futures contracts will be listed: 1) A daily settlement bitcoin future, which will enable customers to transact in a same-day market. And 2) a monthly bitcoin futures contract will enable trading in the front month and across the forward pricing curve.
The futures contracts will be margined by ICE Clear US, including the collection of initial margin collateral and variation margin to manage risk. This approach is consistent with capital-efficient risk management practices in global futures markets, ranging from oil and gold to interest rates and equity index futures."
