Kraken Launches Commission-Free Stock and ETF Trading in Strategic Expansion

The phased rollout across select U.S. states marks Kraken's shift toward integrating traditional finance with crypto services.

Kraken has launched commission-free trading for over 11,000 U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs, starting in states like New Jersey, Connecticut, Wyoming, and Oklahoma.
This move is part of Kraken's broader strategy to become a full-service trading platform, blending traditional finance and cryptocurrency offerings.
The company plans to expand these services to additional U.S. states and key international markets, including the UK, Europe, and Australia.
Kraken is leveraging blockchain technology to drive the tokenization of traditional asset classes, aiming for seamless cross-asset trading.
The expansion follows Kraken's $1.5 billion acquisition of NinjaTrader, reinforcing its commitment to bridging traditional and digital finance.
