For the past few years, there have been constant rumors about Kraken going public. The company has been busy dealing with accusations from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) last year, accusing it of operating an unregistered platform and mishandling customer funds. A spokesperson declined to comment on this financing, but stated, “We have been exploring strategic paths to achieve Kraken’s mission: accelerating the global adoption of cryptocurrency. We will continue to focus all our efforts on investing in this goal.”
