KRACKEN PAUSES MULTIBILLION-DOLLAR IPO AMID TOUGH MARKET CONDITIONS Kraken has frozen its planned IPO, originally filed confidentially with the US Securities and Exchange Commission in November, citing difficult market conditions. The proposed offering aimed to raise $800 million at a $20 billion valuation, but sources indicate Kraken may revisit the IPO once the market environment stabilizes. The pause comes after a strong 2025 for crypto IPOs, with firms like Circle, Bullish, and Gemini raising a combined $14.6 billion. Industry analysts note that this year’s IPO focus is shifting toward financial infrastructure, regulatory compliance, and consistent revenue models, rather than purely trading-driven platforms. Arjun Sethi, co-CEO of Kraken, is leading the company through this strategic delay.



You can hear @0xJHan here talk about @eulerfinance integrating DS Tokens into their protocol. For those that read the @SECGov release yesterday, “DS” means “Digital Securities” - so for a compliant DeFi model, this is the blueprint.
















Pulling together the top minds in RWAs / tokenization for something big. If you live at the intersection of TradFi / DeFi, shoot me a note.
