Where Kraken wins for issuers
Fiat rails, regulated standing in the US and EU, and a customer base that holds positions longer than retail-only venues. That changes how a panel is paid — depth matters more than turnover.
Frequently asked
Does Kraken accept new MMs on long-tail listings?
Yes, subject to the same listings vetting as the asset itself. The MM panel is reviewed alongside the listing decision, not after it.
