The eagerly awaited cryptocurrency platform Bakkt will begin testing Bitcoin futures on July 22. Its launch is closely watched because it is expected to attract institutional investors who can drive the next leg of the uptrend. The recent recovery in cryptocurrencies has already led to increased interest in Bitcoin futures trading that resulted in record high open positions.
Another project that has generated huge interest is Facebook’s stablecoin dubbed “Libra.” The social media giant has been making some high profile hirings for the project, the latest being Standard Chartered Bank’s head of public affairs Ed Bowles. It has also managed to attract investment from various known firms such as Visa, Mastercard, PayPal and Uber that have invested around $10 million each for the project.
