According to Crowdfundinsider, Deutsche Börse Group has committed to investing $200 million in Payward, Inc. (Kraken's parent company) through a secondary share purchase, acquiring approximately 1.5% of fully diluted equity. This investment is based on a collaboration framework agreed upon by both parties in December 2025. The partnership currently spans regulated crypto trading, tokenized financial products, derivatives, and institutional liquidity, aiming to bridge traditional capital markets with blockchain finance. The transaction is still subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to close in Q2 2026. https://(wublock123.com)/news/deutsche-borse-invests-200m-for-1-5-percent-stake-in-kraken-parent-59602
