Kraken CEO Jesse Powell said that Kraken is one of the top 5 crypto exchange platforms worldwide for “legitimate” volume. The company boasts of a client base of around 4 million.
Earlier this year, it acquired Crypto Facilities, a regulated cryptocurrency trading platform and index provider, in a nine-figure deal.
Recently, crypto exchange Bitfinex also hit its $1 billion target in an initial exchange offering (IEO) in which it sold its LEO tokens to private investors. This was despite the fact that the exchange is tied up in a legal case after being accused of its involvement in an $850 million cover-up.
