Kraken Considers IPO Amid Regulatory Shifts

The exchange Kraken is contemplating an IPO in the first quarter of 2026, driven by changes in cryptocurrency regulation in the United States. This was reported by Bloomberg, citing sources.

The decision is not yet final, and the timeline may change, insiders clarified.

According to a representative of the platform, Kraken disclosed its financial results for 2024 to “enter public markets if it makes sense for clients, partners, and shareholders.”

The exchange’s plans for a public listing had been delayed for several years due to regulatory pressure. The situation shifted with the arrival of a new U.S. administration, which initiated a reform of digital asset oversight.

On March 3, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission dismissed its lawsuit against Kraken, also paving the way for the company’s entry into public markets.

Earlier in March, Bloomberg reported that the Winklevoss brothers’ exchange Gemini had confidentially filed for an IPO.
