https://blog.kraken.com/news/industry-news/announcing-the-kraken-cliA native trading interface for the agentic future.
Kraken has open-sourced the Kraken CLI, a zero-dependency Rust binary designed to give AI agents and developers direct access to crypto markets. With support for 134 commands across spot, futures, staking, subaccount transfers, and WebSocket streaming, it gives agents a clean, machine-readable execution layer without custom wrappers or complex API signing.
The CLI also includes a built-in MCP server, making it natively compatible with agentic tools like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, and OpenClaw. A local paper trading engine lets developers safely test trading logic against live market data without risking capital.
Built for how AI agents actually work — and where markets are heading next.

https://blog.kraken.com/product/payward-services/infrastructure-for-the-new-economyOne integration. Every capability.
Payward Services is Kraken’s new B2B infrastructure platform, giving fintechs, banks, brokerages, payment providers and global platforms a unified way to integrate stablecoin payments, tokenized asset markets, digital asset trading, staking, lending, and fiat/crypto funding rails.
Built on 15 years of operating experience, Payward Services replaces fragmented, multi-vendor infrastructure with coordinated liquidity, custody, compliance, risk management and settlement systems. The result is a more resilient, capital-efficient foundation for always-on financial products in a world moving toward programmable capital and continuous markets.

🔔 https://blog.kraken.com/news/payward-partners-with-nasdaq
Bridging regulated markets and onchain finance.
Payward has partnered with Nasdaq to develop an equities transformation gateway connecting regulated tokenized equity markets with permissionless blockchain ecosystems. Powered by the xStocks framework, the gateway is designed to allow eligible users to move tokenized equities between institutional market infrastructure and DeFi networks while preserving issuer rights, compliance standards and price integrity.
Since launching less than a year ago, xStocks have surpassed $25 billion in total transaction volume, with more than 85,000 unique holders across supported networks.

https://blog.kraken.com/news/industry-news/20-million-bitcoins-minedA milestone for digital scarcity.
Bitcoin has officially minted its 20 millionth coin, leaving only 1 million more to be mined over the next century-plus of halvings. More than 95% of all bitcoins that will ever exist are now already in circulation.
The moment is a reminder of what makes Bitcoin fundamentally different: its 21 million supply cap is not a promise or policy, but code enforced by decentralized consensus. In a world of monetary expansion and uncertainty, Bitcoin’s fixed issuance schedule continues to stand out as one of the clearest expressions of digital scarcity ever created.
