The app will be a digital wallet that combines bitcoins and other forms of digital currencies into one platform.

The app will enable customers to convert participating reward points into cash or use the underlying cryptocurrency as a payment method.

The official release of the app comes after the invite-only early access program, in which 500,000 users have taken many tests.

At launch, customers will be able to download it from various smartphone stores, including the Apple Store and Play Store.

The ad also stated:

The average consumer owns a wealth of digital assets, from gift cards to loyalty points to bitcoin, but lacks the tools to track their value and use them appropriately.

We are pleased to introduce the Bakkt app to the public as a step along our journey to expand access to cryptocurrencies, and make them available to everyone.

“Bakkt” app, “Starbucks” and “Best Buy”:

The announcement informed that Bakkt, which is on its way to going public, has partnered with big names such as Starbucks and Best Buy.

Bakkt’s collaboration with the giant multinational coffee shop chain will enable customers to set up their Starbucks card through the company’s iOS application through Bakkt.

Our teams worked closely together as Bakkt sought input in developing a unique and reliable payment experience that would enable customers to unlock the value of their digital assets in the form of US dollars.

Another partnership with GolfNow will allow customers to use the Bakkt payment solution app for more than 3.5 million users.
