https://blog.kraken.com/product/ramp/now-live-on-onramperGlobal fiat ↔ crypto access, simplified.
Payward Ramp — Kraken’s white-label fiat-to-crypto infrastructure — is now live on Onramper, bringing Kraken’s regulated on- and off-ramp capabilities to a broad network of wallets and Web3 applications through a single API integration.
Built on Kraken’s decade-plus of exchange infrastructure, Payward Ramp supports 24+ payment methods, 600+ digital assets across 100+ blockchains, and operations in 30+ markets. The Onramper partnership marks Ramp’s first major distribution integration, helping developers scale global crypto access without managing fragmented vendors or compliance systems.
One integration. Global coverage. Production-ready rails.

https://blog.kraken.com/news/industry-news/kraken-ethdenver-2026What it actually takes to launch, scale, and last.
At ETHDenver 2026, Kraken convened three grounded, tactical panels focused on one question: how do you build something that endures beyond hype cycles?
From launch war rooms and token design decisions to scaling infrastructure and long-term investor conviction, the discussions centered on clarity, disciplined execution, and making “boring” decisions early to avoid painful rewrites later. Across founders, operators, and investors, one theme stood out: durability beats narrative.
Less noise. More fundamentals.

https://blog.kraken.com/product/flexline/borrow-against-your-crypto-without-selling-itLiquidity without forced selling.
Kraken Flexline is a fixed-rate, crypto-secured term loan that allows clients to unlock liquidity while maintaining long-term holdings. With terms from 2 days to 2 years and fixed rates from 10–25% APR, Flexline provides predictable borrowing costs and multi-asset collateral support.
Unlike margin trading, Flexline offers defined repayment schedules and off-platform withdrawals (subject to limits). Unlike DeFi lending, it operates without smart contract risk or protocol-level liquidations — all custody and risk controls are managed directly by Kraken.
Borrow. Stay invested. Stay in control.

https://blog.kraken.com/product/xstocks/tokenized-equity-perpetual-futures24/7 leveraged exposure to equities, indices, and gold.
Kraken has launched the world’s first regulated tokenized equity perpetual futures, offering eligible non-U. S. clients in 110+ countries up to 20x leverage on tokenized representations of the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, gold, and leading public companies including NVDA, AAPL, TSLA, and GOOGL.
Built on the fully collateralized xStocks framework, these perpetual futures combine crypto-native mechanics with traditional asset exposure — enabling continuous price discovery, event-driven positioning, and capital-efficient strategies around the clock.
Traditional markets, rebuilt for an always-on world.
