Kraken, a cryptocurrency exchange, has announced the upcoming listing of Fartcoin, a Solana-based memecoin, for spot trading on January 23 at 15:00 UTC. This move has been highlighted as a competitive edge over other exchanges like Coinbase, Bybit, and others, which have been criticized for slower transaction processing times and delays in listing new tokens. Kraken's listing of Fartcoin, alongside other AI tokens such as AI16z and Griffain, underscores its proactive approach in the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency market. Additionally, Kraken has been praised for its efficient handling of Solana transactions, contrasting with Coinbase's reported issues with Solana transaction processing during a recent peak trading period.
