Nasdaq Invests $100M in Kraken Parent Company: Report\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Nasdaq Inc. is investing $100 million in crypto exchange Kraken\u2019s parent company, Payward, according to reports.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The deal \u2014 not yet announced by either party \u2014 will help build out structure for tokenized stocks, Bloomberg reported<\/a> Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter. The deal values the crypto company at $21 billion, according to the report.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It comes as Wall Street increasingly eyes up bitcoin and crypto-related infrastructure. Kraken has made deals this year and last with traditional finance firms and the S&P Dow Jones Indices in March made a deal to debut a new derivative contract on decentralized exchange Hyperliquid.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bloomberg\u2019s report said that Kraken will distribute Nasdaq\u2019s tokenized stocks on its own platform, giving customers the ability to own Nasdaq-listed stocks in a tokenized form.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wall Street has been eying up crypto companies and their infrastructure particularly because its interested in tokenizing assets like stocks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In January, the New York Stock Exchange said it was building a platform allowing traders to buy and sell tokenized versions of US-listed equities and exchange-traded funds and settle those trades on the blockchain, 24\/7.<\/p>\n

Just last week, Payward, the parent company of crypto exchange Kraken, and fintech company SoFi Technologies announced<\/a> a deal to route SoFi customers\u2019 crypto orders through Kraken\u2019s institutional trading platform and list SoFi\u2019s stablecoin on the exchange.<\/p>\n

Under the agreement, SoFi will send its digital asset order flow to Kraken Prime, Kraken\u2019s prime brokerage arm, which launched in 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kraken \u2014 like other crypto exchanges \u2014 is pushing into the traditional finance world, allowing users to trade stocks, bonds and other assets. The company has sold its app as a \u201cprimary account for everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
