The acquisition was part of Bakkt’s shift towards B2B and away from retail, as the company had recently closed its consumer <a href="https://finbold.com/guide/cryptocurrency-trading/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto trading</a> app after two years of operation.The exchange has struggled to gain traction in the market, posting quarterly revenues of $13 million last quarter, 10% below the average analyst estimate. Bakkt’s stock is up 3.45% year-to-date, but down nearly 40% over the last six months.Overall, Bakkt’s move to delist certain tokens is not entirely surprising given the increasing regulatory scrutiny of the <a href="https://finbold.com/category/cryptocurrency-news/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto industry</a>. However, it remains to be seen whether this move will help Bakkt’s business fortunes in the long run.Bakkt is a cryptocurrency exchange and digital assets platform that was launched in 2018 by Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) which is designed to make it easier for institutional investors to buy, sell, store, and spend cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (<a href="https://finbold.com/cryptocurrency/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>).The platform has partnerships with major companies like Starbucks (NASDAQ: <a href="https://finbold.com/stock/starbucks-sbux-stock/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SBUX</a>), which allows customers to use Bitcoin to pay for coffee and other products.Read more cryptocurrency news on <a href="https://finbold.com/category/cryptocurrency-news/?utm_source&#61;CMC&amp;utm_medium&#61;social&amp;utm_campaign&#61;CMC&amp;utm_content&#61;long" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Finbold.com</a>.
