Tom Lee, who is in charge of research at Fundstart (a company dealing with crypto-data), stated that Bakkt volumes should be observed for being pure proxies.

Investors are unable to exchange more Bitcoin than they presently have, owed to Bakkt’s infamous “physical” Bitcoin futures. They have been unsuccessful in trying to initiate any significant change, even after being anticipated to be the bearer of tidings- the evolution of Bitcoin markets.
