Crypto Exchange Kraken is considering an initial public offer (IPO) for the first quarter of 2026, since the company believes that the regulatory environment in the United States has changed sufficiently for a public list to be viable, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
Like many other companies and executives in the digital asset industry, the exchange was once in the sights of the Bag and Securities Commission (SEC) under the Biden administration. However, the regulator has been in a large -scale retirement in the first months of the Trump administration. The SEC said in March that he planned to leave his lawsuit against Kraken.
“We will follow public markets, as it makes sense for our clients, our partners and shareholders,” Kraken said in response to a request for comments from Bloomberg. Kraken first intended to make public for 2022.
Several cryptographic companies are planning OPI for next year and 2026. It is said that the circle, the firm behind the USDC Stablecoin, is working on a list, as well as the Crity Exchange Bullish, the Coindesk parent company.
