Crypto Exchange Kraken is considering a first public offer (IPO) by the first quarter of 2026, because the company considers that the regulatory environment in the United States has changed sufficiently to make a viable public list, reported Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the issue.
Like many other companies and managers of the digital asset industry, the exchange was formerly in the reticle of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Biden administration. However, the regulator was in a large -scale litigation retirement during the first months of the Trump administration. The SEC said in March that she planned to drop her pursuit against Kraken.
“We will continue public procurement because it makes sense for our customers, our partners and shareholders,” Kraken said in response to a request for comments from Bloomberg. Kraken first had the intention of becoming a public by 2022.
A certain number of cryptographic companies provide for the IPO for the coming year and 2026. Circle, the company behind the stablecoin USDC, will work on a list, as is the exchange of upward crypto, the parent company of Coindesk.
