Kraken is a technology platform built on crypto, serving millions of individuals and institutions globally. It offers a wide range of services, including trading in digital and traditional assets, staking, and futures. Known for its robust security measures and deep liquidity, Kraken has established itself as one of the oldest and most trusted cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, with a reputation for transparency and regulatory compliance.
Kraken has announced the acquisition of Capitalise.ai, an Israel-based provider of a no-code, natural-language trading automation platform. While the financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, this acquisition will allow Kraken to significantly expand its offerings by integrating Capitalise.ai’s technology into its Kraken Pro platform.
Kraken, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, was founded in 2011 by Jesse Powell, Michael Gronager, and Thanh Luu. In 2019, the company joined the unicorn club. It is now reportedly accelerating toward a planned IPO in the first quarter of 2026, a move that would solidify its position as a major player in the global financial market. This potential public listing, combined with strategic acquisitions like Capitalise.ai, showcases Kraken’s ongoing commitment to innovation and expansion.
