The documents state that for most of 2023 and 2024, Webull accounted for 74% of Bakkt's crypto services revenue, while Bank of America accounted for 17% of its loyalty services revenue from January to September 2024.On March 17, 2025, Bakkt disclosed that Bank of America and Webull had no intention of renewing the agreement set to expire in 2025, causing the company's stock price to drop more than 27% within the following 24 hours.

The lawsuit states: "As a result of the defendants' wrongful conduct and inaction, along with the sharp decline in the company's market value, the plaintiffs and other class members suffered significant losses and damages."
