Many prediction said that bitcoin price will recover and also will hit the new high. I do think its possible and will start happening when bakkt officially launched and if bitcoin ETF got approved.
''What predictions'' did say that? I have not heard a big price boom or ''new high'' for this year. If the SEC's decision will positive, we may see a better prices, but i don't believe it will be new high. BAKKT no longer seems to be unnecessary as if noone will be interested when it will be installed.
