🦑 Kraken pauses IPO plans despite $20B valuation

Crypto exchange Kraken has put its IPO on hold after filing confidentially with the SEC in November. The company may revisit the listing when market conditions improve.

Kraken was valued at $20B during an $800M raise, but weaker crypto prices and lower trading volumes have made public markets less attractive.

The pause comes after a strong 2025, when crypto IPOs raised $14.6B, but 2026 listings are facing a tougher environment.
