Kraken’s $13.3 Billion Valuation Reveals a 33% Markdown in Exchange Pricing

Kraken is now valued at $13.3 billion, a 33% markdown from the $20 billion valuation the exchange commanded during its November 2024 funding round. This figure was established by Deutsche Börse Group's $200 million investment in Payward Inc., Kraken's parent company. The transaction, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026 subject to regulatory approval, gives the Frankfurt-based stock exchange operator a 1.5% fully diluted ownership stake via a secondary market transaction. The investment cements a commercial partnership first announced in December 2025 to build a hybrid market infrastructure for traditional and tokenized assets. Kraken had originally planned a public listing for 2026, but the company has suspended those plans indefinitely, citing unfavorable market conditions.

The fund will invest at least 80% of net assets in instruments providing Bitcoin exposure, including spot Bitcoin exchange-traded products and options on Bitcoin ETP indices. To generate monthly income, the fund employs a dynamic options overwrite strategy, holding long positions in spot Bitcoin ETPs while selling call options against them. The overwrite level is adjusted based on market conditions and ranges from 40% to 100% of Bitcoin exposure.

XRP Whale Transfer to Coinbase Signals Potential Sell-Off

A major holder of XRP may be preparing to sell $119 million in tokens. The movement of 89,828,700 XRP to a Coinbase-linked address suggests a potential sell-off or position rebalancing. This occurs because assets moved to a centralized exchange are more liquid and readily tradable than those held in personal wallets. The transfer began from wallet address rMWqYat3nJXSLoyqB5tUsfYp6KLgoMHXTN and passed through an intermediate wallet, rwnYLUsoBQX3ECa1A5bSKLdbPoHKLnqf63J, before reaching the final Coinbase-associated address, rRmgo6NW1W7GHjC5qEpcpQnq8NE74ZS1P. The movement of 89,828,700 XRP worth $119 million to Coinbase may signal that a major holder is preparing to sell.

While the strategy may outperform plain spot Bitcoin ETFs in flat or mildly volatile markets, the sold calls cap upside participation during strong rallies. The fund does not hold Bitcoin directly; instead, a wholly owned Cayman Islands subsidiary can hold up to 25% of assets to meet regulatory requirements for holding commodities under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Goldman Sachs Enters the Bitcoin ETF Market with an Income-Generating Strategy

Investors in the Goldman Sachs Bitcoin Premium Income ETF will receive income generated from the selling of call options on Bitcoin exposure. Goldman Sachs filed with the SEC on April 14 for the fund, marking the first time the Wall Street bank has issued its own crypto fund. The fund will invest at least 80% of net assets in BTC-exposed instruments, primarily shares of existing spot Bitcoin exchange-traded products. To generate this income, Goldman plans to sell call options covering between 40% and 100% of the fund's Bitcoin exposure. This shift follows a period where Goldman Sachs spent two years buying other firms' Bitcoin ETFs, holding approximately $2.05 billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs as of the end of 2024, with its largest positions in BlackRock's and Fidelity's funds. The fund's income is the result of the premiums collected from the buyers of those call options.

Pending SEC review, the fund could launch approximately 75 days after the April 14 filing date.

Kraken's Fed Master Account Reduces Institutional Dollar Entry Friction

Wholesale clients of Kraken's Wyoming banking arm will experience faster and cheaper transactions. The Kansas City Fed approved a limited-purpose Federal Reserve master account for Kraken Financial on March 4. The account lasts for one year. This allows Kraken to hold balances at the Fed and use Fedwire for direct fund transfers, bypassing the correspondent bank intermediaries that crypto firms have relied on for years. The account is prohibited from earning interest on reserves, accessing emergency Fed lending, or using the the FedNow Service and ACH payment systems.
