Bloomberg: Kraken plans to go public in Q1 2026

ChainCatcher news, according to Bloomberg, cryptocurrency exchange Kraken is actively preparing for an initial public offering (IPO) in the first quarter of 2026. Under President Trump's administration, the regulatory environment in the U.S. is considered more favorable to the crypto industry, which has become an important driving factor for Kraken's decision to go public.

Kraken's co-CEO Arjun Sethi and other leaders in the crypto industry recently met with President Trump at the White House, further strengthening the collaboration between the industry and the government. Previously, Kraken's IPO plans were stalled due to the Biden administration's strict regulations on the crypto industry.
