According to multiple media sources including Fortune Magazine, leading U.S. crypto exchange Kraken has completed a new $500 million funding round, valuing the company at $15 billion. The move marks a major milestone in its path toward a potential initial public offering (IPO) next year.

The latest capital injection was reportedly led by global institutional investors, with participation from long‑term venture partners focused on blockchain infrastructure and digital‑asset innovation. Kraken said the funds will be used to expand global licensing, enhance product security, and accelerate institutional services.

Founded in 2011, Kraken is one of the oldest and largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the United States. The company has seen steady growth in trading volumes and custody solutions amid renewed interest in digital assets and regulatory clarity in key markets.

Analysts view this financing as a strong vote of confidence in Kraken’s business model and timely positioning ahead of a potential IPO in 2026. If completed, it would represent one of the largest public listings in the crypto industry since Coinbase went public in 2021.
