Odaily Planet Daily News: People familiar with the matter revealed that Bakkt Holdings Inc., a digital asset market launched by the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, is exploring the possibility of a sale amid a surge in cryptocurrency-related acquisitions. Bakkt has been working with a financial adviser to weigh a range of strategic options, including a spin-off. No final decision has been made yet, and Bakkt may choose to remain independent. Representatives of Bakkt declined to comment. Earlier this year, Bakkt revealed that the company might not be able to continue operating and therefore faced the risk of delisting from the New York Stock Exchange. In 2021, Bakkt went public through a merger with a blank check company. (Bloomberg)
