Building and maintaining a high bar for security and compliance is fundamental to how you serve your clients’ needs. Today we are pleased to announce that Kraken facility grade qualified custody has successfully completed the SoC 2 Type 2 compliance test. This is an important milestone that further strengthens our long-standing commitment to protecting the assets and data of our institutional clients.

What is SOC 2 Type 2 and why it matters

SOC 2 (Systems and Organization Control 2) is an internationally recognized framework developed by the US CPAS Institute (AICPA) to manage customer data based on five “Principles of Trust Services,” security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy.

Based on Kraken’s previous SOC 2 Type 1 report, successful SoC 2 Type 2 exams demonstrate not only the rigorous design of security management, but also the consistent execution and effectiveness over time. This independent third-party verification is based on existing security infrastructure and reflects its ongoing commitment to strengthening internal processes and technical infrastructure. These are stress-tested to meet the highest industry standards for system reliability and protection of sensitive data.

“Completing the SOC 2 Type 2 exam is an important milestone, but it is just one element of our comprehensive, security-first corporate culture and operational strategy.” “We consider security as a continuous and overall commitment that expands beyond a single audit, reporting requirement or certification. As Kraken continues to expand and the threat landscape evolves, we will remain laser-centric in investing in exceptional talent to strengthen our internal controls and support our commitment to protecting our clients’ data and their assets.”

What does this mean for our clients:

  • Strengthening asset protection: SOC 2 Type 2 Compliance validates that Kraken’s institutional management platform assets are protected by robust, industry-leading security protocols and are continuously monitored and strengthened to combat evolving cybersecurity threats.
  • Trust through transparency:This recognition allows clients to have more confidence in Kraken’s operational integrity. Reconfirm how security controls are not only well designed, but are also well-executed for long periods of time.
  • Commitment to excellence: This achievement reflects Kraken’s ongoing investment in best-in-class security practices and infrastructure, reinforcing its mission to provide true security-first offerings that drive the wider adoption of digital assets globally.

Take a step forward

SOC 2 Type 2 Compliance is an important milestone, but it is just part of Kraken’s larger security-first philosophy. We are committed to continuing to strengthen our infrastructure, protocols, personnel and overall operations to ensure our clients’ needs both now and long term.

What you need to know

  • Nothing teased a return to Qualcomm SoCs on X today (Feb 13) with a teaser image of the chip in question.
  • The company’s CEO Carl Pei also formally announced the return to Qualcomm for the Phone 3a, stating the device will receive a 25% boost in CPU speeds.
  • It seems that the chip being teased is the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, a budget chip with loads of AI support.
  • Nothing confirmed the Phone 3a will launch on March 4 at 5 am ET.

Nothing is continuing to place its next (a) series phone on people’s minds as its newest teaser encompasses its chipset.

Nothing posted an image teaser on X about what consumers can expect, capability-wise, out of the budget Phone 3a. The image was simple, yet marked the return to Qualcomm’s SoC with the statement “Hello Snapdragon!” Beneath, the provided image is of a Snapdragon SoC with a specific white and red chip image.

Nothing adds, “Our perfect match for elite performance. Now powering up the (3a) Series.”

On Qualcomm’s side, the company quote-reposted a quick video from Nothing’s CEO Carl Pei discussing the Phone 3a. Pei announced the return of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon series chips on the next-gen (a) series phone, while also detailing some notable improvements. According to Pei, the Phone 3a will boast a 25% increase in CPU speed and a 72% quicker NPU compared to the Phone 2a Plus.

That device features the MediaTek Dimensity 7350 Pro.

Additionally, Pei says the company has worked to improve the Phone 3a’s camera, based on user feedback. The device’s cameras will reportedly be more “efficient” than before.

While neither side has confirmed the chip for the Phone 3a, many users in the replies believe it to be the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3. This could be true, mainly because the official images of this chip, when it launched, looked the same as what Nothing teased today (Feb 13). Furthering this is a leak from December concerning the Phone 3a in the IMEI database.

The listing showed the device supported by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, a chip designed for budget phones, but with loads of AI capabilities. The chip was also stated to deliver a better camera and gaming experience while also supporting the Baichuan-7B and Llama 2 AI models.

There’s also that leaked memo from Nothing’s CEO Carl Pei that suggested it could take bigger strides toward on-device AI.

That aside, at the end of January, Nothing confirmed that the “Phone 3a Series” was launching on March 4 at 5 am ET. Users can sign up to stay in the loop about the phone via nothing.tech, so you’re ready for launch (and pre-orders if interested). The company recently teased a hardware change for the Phone 3a by way of a physical camera button.

It seems users will be able to take photos without tapping their screens, similar to what Apple did with the iPhone 16.
