Bakkt, the US-based crypto exchange, joined other platforms for trading after the regulator labeled Solana, Polygon, and Cardano as illegally issued financial securities. They could see a gain in the week forward as economic data showed slowing inflation on Friday. But the visit to China from a top U.S. diplomat in five years can bring something positive to the capital markets.
