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.

As Bloomberg reports, Kraken’s entry into the stock market will pit it against other zero-commission websites like Robinhood and Public.com. This action is made at a time when the retail trading boom that was first fueled by the Covid-19 outbreak is beginning to recede.

We hope you appreciated this article. Before you move on, I was hoping you would consider taking the step of supporting CryptoCaster’s journalism.
From Elon Musk, Larry Fink(BlackRock) to Jamie Dimon(JP Morgan Chase) a number of billionaire owners have a powerful hold on so much of the hidden agendas’ which eludes the public concerning the paradigm shift juxtaposed by cryptocurrency and web3 emerging technologies. CryptoCaster is different. We have no billionaire owner or shareholders to consider. Our journalistic efforts are produced to serve the public interest in crypto development and institutional disruptions – not profit motives.
And we avoid the trap that befalls much U.S. and global media – the tendency, born of a desire to please all sides, to engage in false equivalence in the name of neutrality and retail consumer protection. While fairness and transparency dictates everything we do, we know there is a right and a wrong position in the fight against fiat global banking interest and monetary reconstruction precipitated by the emerging crypto ecology.
When we report on issues like the FTX, Binance and Ripple crisis, we’re not afraid to name who or what is uncovered. And as a crypto sentinel, we’re able to provide a fresh, outsider perspective on the global monetary disruption – one so often missing from the insular American and European media bubble.

Our readers keep us independent, beholden to no outside influence and accessible to everyone – whether they can afford to pay for news and information, or not.
