Bloomberg reports that the 2011-founded cryptocurrency exchange Kraken intends to allow trading in exchange-traded funds and equities with US-listed companies. A newly created division called Kraken Securities will be responsible for distributing the new services in the US and the UK.
As reported by Bloomberg, Kraken has already received the required regulatory permissions in the UK and is currently submitting an application to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for a broker-dealer license in the US. The debut of these new services is scheduled for 2024 by the corporation.
