Introducing Kraken Prime, a full-service prime broker for Institutional Crypto clients

We are pleased to announce the launch of Kraken Prime, a dedicated, full-service prime brokerage solution dedicated to providing seamless access to institutional investors to trading, custody and fundraising through a unified platform.

Kraken Prime gives institutional clients access to deep multi-stage liquidity, sophisticated trading tools and high-touch client services. This is a strategic milestone and strengthens our ability to meet growing institutional demand by providing the performance, reliability and compliance standards expected from traditional prime brokers.

Launch Kraken Prime at a crucial moment. As regulatory clarity improves and market infrastructure matures, more institutions are appearing in crypto, including asset managers, hedge funds, and companies. These entities need partners who provide both technical refinement, facility grade compliance and dedicated 24/7 support to be deeply involved in the digital asset space.

The Kraken Prime was built from scratch to meet those needs. Clients have access to liquidity, which accounts for more than 90% of the digital asset market across more than 20 global venues, and provide 24-hour support from our experienced account management team. Transactions can be carried out directly from qualified custody rights managed by Kraken Financial, a US state bank. The platform also supports seamless integration with liquidity of both asset-backed loans, T+1 credit facilities, and on-platform via our in-house smart order routing system.

David Ripley, Kraken Co-CEO: “Kraken Prime is built to meet the execution quality and service expectations of today’s institutional investors. The infrastructure has been combat-tested in several market cycles and along with Kraken Prime, channeling its robustness and matchless expertise towards a Taedermade premium experience.”

“We bring a clear mission to this market. It offers not only performance quality, depth of service and the rigour of facilities beyond what traditional finance expects. The edge of KrakenPrime is to prioritize quality, reliability and consistency, which are particularly important in the volatile market.
