Krypto-Exchange octopus fueled rumors about IPO and own tokens
Since the start of 2011, the US crypto exchange has been one of the primary rocks of the global crypto industry-and apparently wants to make particularly great progress in 2025. In the past, she was one of the top 3 exchanges according to trading volume, but it has now slipped out of the top 10 due to the rise of Asian competitors such as Bybit, OKX, Upbit or Kucoin in the ranking of the largest crypto exchanges.
After the billion -dollar takeover of NinjaTrader (Trending Topics reported), With which a US trade platform for futures was bought to expand the asset offer, the company now fuels speculations about an IPO-or at least the launch of your own Exchange token. In a video or some postings, from $ KRAK written. On the one hand, this can mean that the company will soon be concerned with the IPO under the ticker symbol Krak, or that a Krak token will soon be launched on the market.
Both options make sense. As early as April 2025, it was announced that the company had deleted hundreds of jobs in order to improve for a IPO and increase profitability. In March, Bloomberg reported that octopuses are planning to take $ 200 million and $ 1 billion at an IPO.
Fintech-IPO weather attractive
In 2025, after the faults of the Trump-Zölle, a new IPO window opened again. As reported, the Israeli trading platform Etoro, which was driven by crypto-assets, was able to put a strong start of the stock exchange last week (More about this here), Furthermore, the US-Neobank Chime started the IPO process. The appetite of the stock market investors on FinTech could now try to capitalize.
Option 2 is also not to be dismissed. Unlike many other crypto exchanges, octopuses do not yet have their own tokens. These Exchange tokens are happy to be used in terms of customer loyalty to make users access to fee discounts, launchpad access and staking. Binance is a great pioneer at Exchange tokens, but also Bitget, Okx, Gate.io, Crypto.com and others have long since had token on the market.
