Crypto exchange Kraken has secured a significant $800 million investment round at a valuation of $20 billion. This funding will fuel the company’s expansion plans, including the integration of traditional financial products onto its blockchain platform. The move comes ahead of a planned 2026 Initial Public Offering (IPO). The recent capital injection was led by a consortium of institutional investors, including Jane Street, DRW Venture Capital, HSG, Oppenheimer Alternative Investment Management and Tribe Capital. Kraken’s co-CEO Arjun Sethi’s family office also participated. Citadel Securities, a market-making giant, invested $200 million in the round. This investment will support Kraken’s strategic objectives for accelerating its presence in global markets while deepening its regulated footprint. The funding is earmarked to expand Kraken’s product suite, particularly targeting new asset classes, advanced trading tools, and enhanced institutional offerings.
