Questioned on the subject, Kraken neither confirmed nor denied the information, stating only that the company was “always” looking to improve its offering in order to accelerate crypto adoption worldwide.
Several apps, including Bitpanda, eToro and Revolut, already offer their customers the chance to invest in cryptocurrency alongside stock market shares. In the US, Robinhood is probably the biggest player to combine these two services.
Kraken, which is working on opening its own bank, is also now looking into the derivatives market with its Crypto Facilities unit.
Earlier this year, the exchange was prosecuted by the US federal agency SEC for failing to register its staking service. It has recently obtained an e-money license in Ireland and crypto registration in Spain.
