This is not the first time Bakkt has made a major decision regarding its customer-oriented services.

At that time, the firm disclosed plans to focus on B2B technology solutions stating that it would offer crypto and loyalty rewards to businesses via API and SaaS solutions. Apex Crypto Acquisition A Strategic Move To Expand Offerings Apex Crypto was launched in 2019 as a turnkey platform for integrated crypto trading, allowing investors to transition from equity to crypto. In November 2022, Bakkt acquired Apex Crypto to expand its services to neo-banks, fintech firms, and trading app platforms. Notably, the trading platform wasn’t profitable at the time. But Bakkt wanted to boost its revenue by increasing its offerings through the trading platform. So, it acquired Apex Crypto for $200 million. After the deal, Bakkt made the first payment of $55 million in cash and completed the payment in April 2023 with $145 million in stock. Bakkt went public in October 2021 through a merger with VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings. -Image Source: Pixabay, Chart: Tradingview
