BakktX

The First ECN for Crypto Backed by a US-Regulated Firm

What is BakktX?

BakktX is the first FX- style Electronic-Communications-Network (ECN) for crypto managed by a US-regulated, publicly-traded market infrastructure company. BakktX offers the highest performance, lowest latency, crypto trading venue for institutions.

Historically used by institutions in traditional FX trading, ECNs optimize the traditional order book model by creating a direct link with liquidity makers and takers, thereby enabling faster, cheaper, and more efficient trading experiences. ECNs are common practice in the foreign exchange markets for handling large transactions efficiently, and with BakktX, this will become the standard practice in the crypto market as well.
