Kraken
Kraken, owned by Payward, introduced Sentora and Veda, added 9.17 million XRP Oct 8–15 2026, offers Bitcoin and Ethereum options, supports USDC/EUR order‑book routing, rolled core backend to Rust in 2025, and in Oct 12 2026 won Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority approval. On Oct 28 2026, Kraken announced that it will replace 176 crypto trading pairs with synthetic markets, canceling all existing orders on Nov 6–9 and making new orders only on the synthetic platform. The migration starts cancel‑only at 14:00 UTC on Nov 6, with replacement markets ready by Nov 9. Synthetic markets use the same liquidity pools but charge taker fees on all trades, including limit orders, and remove maker‑pricing, partial fills, post‑only, and time‑in‑force settings. Native pairs such as BTC/DAI or SHIB/USDT will be removed; underlying cryptocurrencies remain available on the platform. The synthetic model is part of the existing Kraken Pro ecosystem. pinosaur.eth deposited 9,618 ETH to Kraken HTX performed a dust attack that affected Kraken· Entity summary generated by Graphiti
