Beating Bakkt, LedgerX Is First to Launch 'Physical' Bitcoin Futures in US - CoinDesk

LedgerX has launched the first physically-settled bitcoin futures contracts in the U.S., beating Bakkt to the punch.

Any U.S. resident with a government-issued I.D. can now trade futures contracts for real bitcoin.

Revealed exclusively to CoinDesk, LedgerX has officially launched the first physically-settled bitcoin futures contracts in the U.S., beating the Intercontinental Exchange’s Bakkt and TD Ameritrade-backed ErisX to the punch.

Perhaps more importantly, LedgerX is offering the new product to both institutional and retail investors, allowing anyone who can pass know-your-customer (KYC) processes to trade the contracts, not just institutional clients with millions in assets.
