Kraken has launched Kraken Prime, a full-service prime brokerage platform designed for institutional cryptocurrency clients, offering trading, custody, and financing solutions. Concurrently, a Kraken-backed startup, Rails, has emerged from stealth mode to launch a hybrid perpetual crypto exchange that combines the speed of centralized exchanges with the self-custodial benefits and transparency of decentralized platforms. Rails recently completed a $14 million private token sale funding round, with participation from Kraken Ventures, Slow Ventures, CMCC Global, Quantstamp, and R13 Ventures. The exchange was founded by Satraj Bambra, a crypto-native builder, and Ryan Marini, former COO of Grindr.
