Kraken, a major player in the crypto industry since 2011, has taken a formal step toward going public. The company announced it has filed a confidential draft registration for an Initial Public Offering (IPO) with the SEC.
This development follows a significant $800 million funding round that valued the San Francisco-based firm at $20 billion. The funding was led by prominent firms, including a $200 million strategic investment from Citadel Securities.

The IPO will proceed after the SEC completes its review and when market conditions are deemed suitable. Kraken’s filing follows a trend of crypto firms like Circle and Gemini successfully entering public markets.
