Kraken expands beyond crypto with stocks & ETF trading

Crypto exchange Kraken has announced the launch of commission-free trading for stocks and exchange-traded funds, expanding its product suite beyond cryptocurrencies. Kraken said in an announcement that initial rollout is live for more than 11,000 stocks and exchange-traded funds listed in the United States. The phased launch will first be available to eligible clients in select states, including New Jersey, Wyoming, Oklahoma, Idaho, Connecticut, and the District of Columbia. Kraken plans to gradually expand the offering to eligible clients across the United States. “Crypto isn’t just evolving, it’s becoming the backbone for trading across asset classes, such as equities, commodities and currencies. As demand for 24/7 global access grows, clients want a seamless, all-in-one trading experience,” said Arjun Sethi, Kraken’s co-chief executive officer. “Expanding into equities is a natural step for us, and paves the way for the tokenization of assets. The future of trading is borderless, always on, and built on crypto rails—and Kraken will continue to lead this shift.” You might also like: Mastercard teams up with Kraken to expand crypto payment services across Europe This move means Kraken is expanding beyond crypto, with its suite of products and services now mirroring the popular trading app Robinhood .
