“We’re excited to congratulate Kraken on their incredible milestone to offer US securities. Their forward-thinking approach to combine multiple asset types into one consolidated platform shows how dedicated they remain to serving the needs of their global customer base, and we’re thrilled to be a part of their journey,” said Yoshi Yokokawa, CEO & Co-Founder of Alpaca.
As Kraken looks ahead, they will continue to explore adding more traditional asset classes, like options, and how they can offer this around the world.
