I'm not surprised that BTC dumped after the news. It's just like back in 2017, when CBOE and CME launched BTC started falling all through 2018.
I won't be totally surprised if history repeats itself.

Probably it won't repeat itself.  As far as I know CBOE and CME is cashed settled which means, they do not necessarily need to back up their futures with physical Bitcoin while these Bakkt is physically backed meaning their futures is backed by Bitcoin itself.  So this time around, there is really a demand for Bitcoin unlike the CBOE and CME where they can sell unlimited amount of BTC even though they don't have them.
