Ambitious! Kraken's next goal is to compete with trillion-dollar banks for customers! Kraken CEO mentioned in a Bloomberg interview that more crypto companies will soon gain access to banking privileges. He believes U.S. banks have had it too easy for too long, relying solely on the old model of making money from customer deposits. Meanwhile, international banks like the UK’s Revolut and banks in Mexico and Colombia have already started innovating— offering services like payroll, employee benefits, and salary advances. These are services that U.S. banks still don’t provide. Now, U.S. banks are feeling the pressure from global innovation (including crypto companies) coming at them from all directions, forcing them to quickly figure out how to innovate and move forward.
