Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal reported that much-anticipated crypto platform Bakkt’s plans to store customers’ BTC from its Bitcoin futures could cause further delay in obtaining approval from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). According to the report, the CFTC has outlined various alternative options for Bakkt, including having the firm register as a trust company.

The traditional markets have reported gold’s rise after weak economic data from the euro-zone strengthened concerns about global slowdown and had an impact on risk sentiment. Bullion is now on track for its best week in nearly two months, according to CNBC.

At press time, gold has gained around 0.43 percent and is trading at around $1313 per ounce. Silver is down by 0.11 percent on the day, trading at the $15.42 at press time.
