Kraken Expands to Stock and ETF Trading in the US Market

The Kraken exchange has launched trading for stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the U.S. This new feature is available to customers in 10 states, including New Jersey, Connecticut, and Alabama.

Users can trade over 11,000 stocks and ETFs listed on U.S. exchanges without incurring any fees.

The service is integrated into the Kraken interface, enabling users to manage their stocks, cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and fiat currencies all in one place.

New features include the ability to purchase fractional shares for investing in securities and instant reinvestment of funds after trades.

This functionality is offered through Kraken Securities, the company’s U.S.-registered subsidiary regulated by FINRA.

According to Kraken’s CEO Arjun Sethi, this expansion represents a move towards integrating traditional and digital finance. The company intends to roll out the service in international markets in the future, including Europe, the U.K., and Australia.

As a reminder, in March, Bloomberg reported on the exchange’s plans to go public in the first quarter of 2026.

In the same month, Kraken finalized an agreement to acquire the futures trading platform NinjaTrader for $1.5 billion.

Later, the trading platform partnered with Mastercard to produce physical and digital debit cryptocurrency cards.
