Bakkt is certainly coming but sadly there is still nothing confirmed yet. Just get your money ready for action, as soon as they make an announcement you need to be ready before the manipulators do their pump and dump thing.
BAKKT can be happening soon and I hope there would be no another delay this time. I am sure there can be an immediate jump on the market especially with Bitcoin and we know that where Bitcoin is going so is the rest of this fledgling industry. However, as to the question whether BAKKT can result into a long-term positive effect on Bitcoin that remains to be seen as there is a possibility that things will just be temporary. The market right now is making a very good dip and can be a big opportunity for anyone to enter Bitcoin but many people are just watching on the sideline since nobody can be sure when and where is the real bottom for Bitcoin. Barring no great news to excite the market, I am sure we can be experiencing the bearish feast for a longer time.
