Kraken expanded its offering in US securities through collaboration with Alpaca, a self-liberation broker dealer known for its API-First Brokerage platform.
Crypto Kraken reportedly has access to over 11,000 shares and ETFs for its users. According to the exchange, the collaboration will allow Kraken’s US resident clients to access a wide selection of over 11,000 stocks and ETFs. This is a move aimed at filling the gap between traditional asset trading and digital asset trading.

The ALPACA Partnership provides Kraken with a robust infrastructure to run low-latency transactions and process fractional orders. This allows Kraken to offer users fee-free stock trading without compromising speed or efficiency.
A must-have for multi-asset platforms
Earlier this year, Kraken acquired Ninjatrader, a futures trading platform. In the near future, Kraken will consider adding traditional asset classes such as options and make them globally available.
