Golden Finance reported that as the regulation of cryptocurrency in the United States is relaxed, Kraken's parent company Payward Inc. plans to conduct an IPO in 2026. If successful, Kraken will become the second U.S. cryptocurrency exchange to be listed after Coinbase. A spokesperson stressed that financial transparency can be improved through public reserve proofs, marking a shift in the SEC's past allegations of unregistered activities and assets that had previously hindered its IPO plans.
