Republic Europe Offers SPV for Kraken Equity Participation

This launch allows easier investor access to Kraken equity, reflecting a shift toward democratizing pre-IPO investments for retail investors in Europe.

Republic Europe introduced a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), enabling retail participation in Kraken’s equity prior to the anticipated IPO. The SPV underscores the trend of democratizing wealth creation avenues. The SPV launch highlights Republic Europe’s commitment to expanding access for retail investors under CySEC compliance. Kraken, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, is eyeing an IPO.

Retail Investors Gain Access to Pre-IPO Investments

Many view the SPV as a pivotal moment in retail investment opportunities, particularly in high-value tech companies. This move exhibits growing retail interest in pre-IPO stages.

The launch fosters potential market shifts by allowing non-institutional investors to access pre-IPO investments, traditionally reserved for elite investors, indicating a shift in investment norms.

SPVs in Crypto: A New Investment Precedent

SPVs are largely uncommon in the crypto sector, setting a new precedent. Their use has been more typical in tech startups, not cryptocurrency exchanges.

Experts suggest this move could inspire more pre-IPO retail involvement. While historical SPV outcomes suggest potential high returns, the rise of such vehicles in crypto is relatively novel.

The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points, and Powell said this was a risk management cut

The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points, and Powell said this was a risk management cut

PANews reported on September 18th, according to the Securities Times, that at 2:00 AM Beijing time on September 18th, the Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point interest rate cut, lowering the federal funds rate from 4.25%-4.50% to 4.00%-4.25%, in line with market expectations. The Fed's interest rate announcement triggered a sharp market reaction, with the three major US stock indices rising briefly before quickly plunging. The US dollar index plummeted, briefly hitting a new low since 2025, before rebounding sharply, turning a decline into an upward trend. The sharp market volatility was closely tied to the subsequent monetary policy press conference held by Federal Reserve Chairman Powell. He stated that the 50 basis point rate cut lacked broad support and that there was no need for a swift adjustment. Today's move could be viewed as a risk-management cut, suggesting the Fed will not enter a sustained cycle of rate cuts. Powell reiterated the Fed's unwavering commitment to maintaining its independence. Market participants are currently unaware of the risks to the Fed's independence. The latest published interest rate dot plot shows that the median expectation of Fed officials is to cut interest rates twice more this year (by 25 basis points each), one more than predicted in June this year. At the same time, Fed officials expect that after three rate cuts this year, there will be another 25 basis point cut in 2026 and 2027.
