Acquisition leverage Bakkt acquired Digital Asset Custody Company, presenting a sales opportunity to align with Bakkt’s expanded custody ecosystem and offer complementary services, integrations, or enhanced security features that fit within Bakkt's institutional client base.

Regulatory alignment DACC emphasizes SOC 1 certified custody and regulatory compliance, signaling a strong selling point to institutions prioritizing audit-ready controls, risk management, and multi-party regulatory reporting.

Institutional focus With a target of institutional clients and a 24/7 security model, there is potential to upsell to larger asset managers, hedge funds, and family offices seeking scalable custody with enterprise-grade monitoring and support.

Tech-led differentiation Proprietary custody technology, air-gapped storage egress capabilities, and rapid asset movement offer a basis to position as a security-forward solution for clients needing resilient, high-assurance crypto custody.

Strategic partnerships Past collaborations with Omniex and the broader ecosystem indicate opportunities to propose joint or integrated custody solutions with institutional trading platforms, prime brokers, and fintech partners to expand reach.
