Bloomberg sources indicate Kraken aims to raise over $100 million and is seeking to add a prominent company to its board to bolster its IPO plans. CEO Jesse Powell initially expressed interest in a direct listing similar to Coinbase’s approach but has since shifted focus to a traditional IPO, citing improved prospects. The company has been contemplating going public since 2021.

With cryptocurrency valuations nearing all-time highs, Kraken’s IPO could capitalize on the current market momentum. Circle, the company behind the USDC stablecoin, has been actively pursuing plans to go public through an IPO. In January 2024, Circle confidentially filed a draft registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Kraken’s decision to pursue an IPO reflects the broader trend of increased investor interest in digital asset firms. As companies in the sector receive renewed attention, the potential for significant capital influx grows. The exchange’s reported move to add a top-tier business to its board and raise substantial funds underscores its strategic approach. Only time will tell if the IPO will materialize and if Bloomberg’s sources are accurate.
