Reflects Kraken's role in building the infrastructure for the next generation of global finance
CHEYENNE, Wyo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kraken, one of the longest-standing, most liquid and secure cryptocurrency platforms, has been named to Fortune's inaugural Crypto 100, a ranking of the most influential and impactful companies shaping the digital asset industry. Kraken earned the No. 3 spot on the list, which recognizes organizations at the forefront of a financial transformation playing out in real time.
The Fortune Crypto 100 evaluates companies across dimensions including market leadership, innovation, institutional credibility, and contribution to the broader development of the crypto ecosystem. Kraken's inclusion underscores its decade and a half track record of building trusted, regulated infrastructure for individuals and institutions accessing digital assets globally.
“Rankings are lagging indicators. What's more important is the financial infrastructure we pioneered and continue building,” said Arjun Sethi, co-CEO of Payward & Kraken. “In the old system, trading, investing, and earning live in three companies, three ledgers, money trapped between them. On crypto rails it is one balance that can trade, earn, and move in real time. We won trading first, then built the rest on the same rails. No legacy firm copies that without rebuilding its core.”
Kraken serves millions of clients across more than 190 countries and offers futures, staking, institutional services, and access to hundreds of digital assets. The company has consistently ranked among the most trusted names in the industry, with a focus on security, regulatory compliance, and long-term market integrity.
