Bakkt, a digital asset marketplace backed by Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), said it has launched the Bakkt App, a crypto wallet that allows customers to use their digital assets "as they like."

The app allows users to convert points rewards for participation into cash or pay with Bitcoin (BTC). The company defines "digital assets" as cryptocurrencies, rewarded points and other assets. As far as cryptocurrencies are concerned, though, their website currently only mentions Bitcoin (BTC).

The BiKi platform will launch BAKE today: According to the official announcement, the BiKi platform will open the BAKE/USDT trading pair at 16:00 (GMT+8) today, and the deposit and withdrawal services are now open. At the same time, the grid pending order share fee activity will be launched. Users who participate in the BAKE/USDT grid pending order transaction can share 50% of the transaction fee reward pool of the currency pair. If the conditions are met, they can get grid income + grid pending order fee reward double income.

BakerySwap is the next iteration of the current Uniswap, faster and cheaper. In addition, liquidity providers will also be rewarded with BAKE tokens, from which they can earn a portion of BakerySwap transaction fees and can be used to vote as part of BakerySwap governance. [2021/4/12 20:10:13]
