Well, slap my knee and call me surprised! The good folks at Deutsche Börse, those pillars of financial propriety, have gone and tossed $200 million into the Kraken’s gaping maw. Yes, that Kraken – the crypto behemoth that’s been making traditional bankers clutch their pearls and mutter about “volatility” like it’s a dirty word.
Seems the stodgy old financial world is finally waking up to the fact that crypto ain’t just a fad cooked up by bearded hipsters in basements. They’re dipping their toes in the digital waters, and by “dipping,” I mean throwing around sums that could buy a small country.
Bloomberg, those purveyors of fine financial gossip, tell us this little investment values Kraken’s parent company, Payward Inc., at a cool $13.3 billion. That’s enough to make even the most jaded Wall Street shark do a double-take.
And let’s not forget, Kraken’s the first crypto exchange to get its grubby little hands on a Fed Master account. Limited-purpose, mind you, but still – it’s like giving a kid a key to the candy store and telling him he can only have one lollipop. Progress, folks, progress.
So, what does it all mean? Well, it means the lines between the old financial guard and the crypto upstarts are blurring faster than a politician’s promises. Buckle up, buttercups, things are about to get interesting.
