Kraken

Kraken is one of the oldest and most trusted centralized cryptocurrency exchanges, founded in 2011 in San Francisco and known for a strong security track record and broad regulatory compliance. It offers spot, margin, and derivatives trading alongside staking, OTC services, and access to tokenized equities for non-US users. In 2025, Kraken launched Ink, its own Ethereum Layer 2 network, and is planning a public stock listing.
