Kraken now enables users in ten US jurisdictions, including New Jersey, Connecticut, and Wyoming, to trade stocks and ETFs directly through its platform.
This rollout offers commission-free trading and fractional shares, making access easier for more investors. It marks the beginning of a phased national rollout, with plans to extend access across the US in the coming months.
Kraken also aims to expand globally, targeting the UK, Europe, and Australia. This expansion allows users to manage both crypto and traditional financial assets under one account, reinforcing Kraken’s goal to become a centralized hub for modern investors.
Clients can instantly reinvest proceeds from stock sales into crypto, or vice versa, without switching platforms. This move is seen as a strategic step towards the broader tokenization of real-world assets.
