Kraken's Support Staff Recruitment Breach Exposes 2,000 Accounts

Approximately 2,000 Kraken user accounts were viewed after cybercriminals recruited customer support personnel to record internal client management platforms. The breach occurred across two distinct events, in February 2025 and a second more recent occurrence. The perpetrators captured video recordings of staff accessing internal systems, which were used to demand an undisclosed sum from the exchange to prevent public disclosure. Kraken Chief Security Officer Nick Percoco stated that no systems were breached and funds remained secure. Kraken refused to negotiate with the extortionists. The exchange is working with federal law enforcement across multiple jurisdictions to identify the individuals involved.

Deutsche Börse invested $200 million in Payward, Kraken’s parent company, to acquire a 1.5% fully diluted ownership stake. The transaction values Kraken at $13.3 billion. The shares were acquired through a secondary transaction from existing investors, meaning no fresh capital was injected into Payward.

A $200 million bet on bridging crypto and traditional finance

Kraken users will soon gain access to bank-grade foreign exchange liquidity, significantly improving the efficiency of moving money between fiat and digital assets. The upgrade arrives through a deeper integration with Deutsche Börse’s 360T foreign exchange trading venue, enabled by a $200 million investment from the German exchange operator for a 1.5% fully diluted stake in Kraken. The funding, placed with Kraken parent company Payward, cements a strategic partnership first announced in December. Integration with 360T will streamline fiat on- and off-ramps—long a friction point for crypto platforms—by connecting Kraken directly to institutional FX markets. The partnership will also deploy Kraken Embed, allowing banks, fintechs, and other financial institutions across Europe and the U.S. to offer crypto trading and custody services through white-label solutions. Subject to regulatory approvals, the collaboration will extend further: Eurex-listed derivatives are expected to become available for trading on Kraken, and securities held in custody at Clearstream will be tokenized and distributed to Kraken’s client base.

Beyond liquidity, the partnership expands the use of Kraken Embed, allowing banks, fintech firms, and asset managers to offer crypto trading and custody under their own brands. Subject to regulatory approval, the companies also plan to enable the trading of derivatives listed on Eurex, Deutsche Börse’s derivatives exchange, through Kraken’s platform.
