Bakkt Announces Akshay Naheta as co-CEO of Bakkt and Strategic Partnership with Distributed Technologies Research

Bakkt to add visionary leadership and deepen its bench of subject matter expertise with the appointment of Akshay Naheta as co-CEO of Bakkt and member of the board

Commercial agreement to combine Bakkt’s high-performance crypto trading platform with Distributed Technology Research’s cutting-edge stablecoin payments platform

ALPHARETTA, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bakkt Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BKKT) today announced that, effective March 21, 2025, it will bring on Akshay Naheta, a seasoned executive with a proven track record in the finance and technology industries, to serve as co-CEO of Bakkt, alongside Andy Main, current CEO.

With over 20 years of experience, Akshay brings an intricate understanding of blockchain, financial markets, and payment systems to Bakkt. Previously, he held senior executive roles at SoftBank Group, where he was responsible for numerous leading technology investments, such as ARM, Auto1 and Nvidia. Akshay left SoftBank to found Distributed Technologies Research (DTR) with the goal of building the next generation of global payments infrastructure.

In conjunction with the announcement of Akshay’s impending appointment, Bakkt and DTR plan to enter into a commercial agreement to integrate DTR's stablecoin-based payments technology infrastructure with Bakkt’s market-leading crypto trading and brokerage technology, subject to applicable regulatory approvals. Once this partnership takes effect, Bakkt believes it will be positioned to unlock new revenue streams in crypto trading and stablecoin payments, while adding efficiency to the vast and rapidly growing cross-border payments market.

The Next Step for Bakkt

"This partnership marks a pivotal moment for Bakkt," said Andy Main, CEO of Bakkt. "We believe that Akshay joining the leadership team and integration of DTR’s technology with Bakkt will propel us from a leading crypto technology platform and liquidity provider into a more comprehensive, utility-based, institutional digital assets trading and payments platform. Our mission is to deliver the best possible experiences in trading and payments, empowering our clients to scale into the next generation of digital finance. We’re thrilled to welcome Akshay and eager to unlock the full potential of our partnership."

“I founded DTR with the vision that stablecoins provide unparalleled efficiency and utility in shaping the future of payment systems,” said Akshay Naheta, DTR's founder. “The partnership between Bakkt and DTR will capitalize on their respective strengths, and I am excited to work with both teams as we begin to address the growing demand from customers for fast and efficient crypto infrastructure and payment solutions in the U.S. and globally.”

Sean Collins, Chairman of Bakkt’s board, welcomed Naheta’s appointment, stating, "Akshay’s deep expertise in blockchain systems and fintech makes him an ideal leader for this next phase of Bakkt’s growth. His vision for the future of payments aligns perfectly with Bakkt’s mission, and we couldn’t be more excited to have him helping lead the company forward."

Bakkt has entered into a strategic partnership with DTR, a stablecoin payments platform. This collaboration aims to enhance Bakkt’s capabilities in the global stablecoin payments network.

... Bakkt’s future is not in travel miles or gift card conversions but in digital asset markets, trading infrastructure and institutional-grade solutions.

... Bakkt is no longer a consumer-facing crypto startup, it’s aiming to become instead a serious player in the infrastructure that powers digital asset markets.

Told you to watch the charts on this one 😅 if you need any help let me know this one will eat you alive they don't really do anything except take people's money like a lot of public companies you have to really do something to earn more money from shareholders than what is dumped from the company internally as you notice the 52 day moving average one year will show a line if you're above this line you will get taken for 90% to 75% of course if you fall into one of these lower areas you can triple your money but the timing is not your choice. Anyone wants to see how to make real money trust me send me a message.

XRP News: Lawyer Eyes Massive Rally Amid Trump’s US Crypto Tax Exemption

...Donald Trump has made several promises to the crypto market during his election campaigns. Besides, he also pledged to make America the crypto capital of the world, which has sparked discussions in the market. Now, with his victory in the presidential race last week, rumors have swirled that the Republican administration will eliminate capital gains taxes on cryptocurrencies issued by the US firm.

If Trump’s crypto tax exemption plan comes true, then the investors can make more profits by holding crypto like ADA, XRP, HBAR, and others. Among other XRP news, this rumor appears to have bolstered the market confidence, while also increasing the US appeal to the crypto market. Many other nations like the UK have started moving their crypto plans to counter the soaring US appeal to global investors.
