Kraken, the second-largest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States, has unveiled an ambitious roadmap for listing 19 new tokens, signaling a potential surge in activity following the recent presidential election. The move suggests a more permissive regulatory environment under the Trump administration, easing restrictions on token listings within the U.S.
Kraken’s roadmap outlines plans to integrate new blockchains and list their native tokens for trading, including BNB Smart Chain (BNB) and Arweave (AR). Additionally, the exchange intends to list various tokens on pre-existing supported blockchains. This expansion encompasses a diverse range of projects, from decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols to meme coins.
The announcement comes amid speculation that the election of President Trump will usher in a more crypto-friendly regulatory landscape. While the specific implications for exchanges remain to be seen, the move by Kraken suggests a growing confidence in the ability to list tokens without facing excessive regulatory scrutiny.
Tokens included in Kraken’s roadmap:
- BNB (BNB Smart Chain)
- DYDX (dYdX)
- AR (Arweave)
- COW (CoW Protocol)
- DOGS (Dogs)
- FWOG (Fwog)
- GOAT (Goatseus Maximus)
- LQTY (Liquity)
- LOCKIN (LOCK IN)
- TRUMP (MAGA)
- MOODENG (Moo Deng)
- NEIRO (Neiro)
- NOT (Notcoin)
- OMNI (Omni)
- PNUT (Peanut the Squirrel)
- RSR (Reserve Rights)
- SPX (SPX6900)
