Leading cryptocurrency exchange, Kraken, has announced the launch of Kraken Institutional. This new brand will serve as an umbrella for several of Kraken’s existing products and services specifically designed for institutions, asset managers, hedge funds, and high net-worth individuals.

Kraken Institutional aims to offer innovative, tailor-made solutions to meet the unique needs of Kraken’s institutional clients.
