Trades can be executed directly from qualified custody managed by Kraken Financial, a U.S. state-charted bank, Kraken said. The platform also supports asset-backed lending, T+1 credit facilities and a seamless integration with both on and off-platform liquidity through an in-house smart order routing system, the firm said.
Crypto prime brokerage, approximate to what traditional prime brokers offer in equities, is a set of services that large exchanges and digital asset-focused brokerages have been striving to deliver for the past several years.
“Kraken Prime enters the market with a clear mandate: deliver execution quality, service depth and institutional rigor that not only meet but exceed what traditional finance expects,” said David Ripley, co-CEO of Kraken in a statement.
“Kraken Prime’s edge lies in prioritizing quality, reliability and consistency, which are especially critical in volatile markets. We may not be the first to market but we’re setting the bar for institutional crypto,” Ripley said.

What to know:
- Stablecoin usage is quickly broadening from crypto-native exchanges into payments, payroll and treasury as companies chase 24/7, digital-native settlement, according to Alchemy Co-founder and President Joe Lau.
- Banks are pushing tokenized deposits as a regulated, bank-native alternative that delivers stablecoin-like benefits for institutional clients.
