Oh, the drama of it all! Kraken, the esteemed cryptocurrency exchange, has triumphantly resurrected its staking services for our friends across the pond in the US of A!
After a long, arduous hiatus of nearly two years, the company announced on the 30th of January, 2031, that it had officially resumed its staking services for US clients in 39 lucky states. Ah, the sweet taste of victory!
A Regulatory Sea Change for Kraken
The return of the staking services follows the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States on January 20. Under the previous administration, Kraken was compelled to cease its staking services due to a $30 million settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The SEC, led by the formidable Gary Gensler, took a rather aggressive stance against crypto-related services, making it a challenge for exchanges to maintain staking programs within the US. However, with the transition to a more crypto-friendly administration, the regulatory landscape has begun to shift.
Gensler, having stepped down on the same day as Trump’s inauguration, paved the way for policy changes that favor digital assets. And so, dear reader, Kraken has re-entered the staking market with new products tailored to meet the needs of its clients.
The company has added support for various cryptocurrencies, allowing users to stake up to 17 digital assets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, and Polkadot. These assets can be staked through Kraken Pro, the exchange’s advanced trading platform.
Kraken’s Embrace of Security and Compliance
Kraken’s global head of consumer, Mark Greenberg, described the exchange’s relaunch of new staking services as an “overwhelmingly positive development.” Indeed, it seems that Kraken is eager to bring back its staking product, enabling US clients to once again stake their crypto assets and contribute to the security of blockchain networks.
Rest assured, dear users, that all staked assets are covered by a third-party insurance provider, offering an additional layer of protection against potential risks. For, in this wild world of crypto, one can never be too cautious!
So, here’s to Kraken, sailing the regulatory seas and emerging stronger than ever! May their staking services continue to flourish and provide value to users across the globe! 🥂
