Kraken expands beyond cryptocurrencies by offering shares and stock market funds (ETFs) to handle more traditional investors.
Kraken, the world's largest centralized cryptocurrency exchange in response to the band, announced the introduction of 11,000 US stocks and ETFs with commission-free trade with a view to bring together “stocks and digital assets” under a trading platform.
Until April 14, the US users in New Jersey, Connecticut, Wyoming, Oklahoma, Idaho, Iowa, Rhode Island, Kentucky, Alabama and the District of Columbia can access these shares and ETFs on their octopus account, the corporate said.

The exchange plans to further expand access to customers in other US states and to mark the primary a part of a “gradual national rollout”.
Both the normal and cryptocurrency investor mood scored a very important goal after US President Donald Trump was not imported on April 2.
The traditional share offer from octopuses takes place over per week after the S&P 500 has recorded a lack of market capitalization of $ 5 trillion over two days. This marked its best decline and exceeded a decline of $ 3.3 trillion in March 2020 after the primary wave of the Covid 19 pandemic.
Crypto becomes “the backbone for the trade” “
According to Arjun Sethi, co-CEO von Kraken, Kraken's expansion into traditional investment products signals the growing good thing about cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.
“Crypto not only develops further, the backbone for trading with assets corresponding to stocks, raw materials and currencies. Since the demand for the clock is growing global, customers need a seamless all-in-one trade experience.”
Sethi added that the expansion of traditional shares was a “natural step” for the tokenization of real assets and the “limitless” way forward for trade based on blockchain rails.
Kraken also plans to increase his stock trading to other large international markets, including the United Kingdom, Europe and Australia.
