Kraken IPO Could Be TradFi’s Next Crypto On-Ramp

Source: Dan TapieroA potential Kraken IPO in 2026 could become a major gateway for traditional finance capital entering crypto markets. Despite Bitcoin trading near $87,000—well below its October peak above $126,000—some investors believe the broader bull cycle is far from over.
Dan Tapiero, founder of 50T Funds, says Bitcoin is still in the “mid-stage” of its bull market, arguing that Kraken’s IPO and a growing wave of crypto mergers and acquisitions could attract fresh institutional inflows. Kraken raised $800 million at a $20 billion valuation and reportedly filed for a U.S. IPO in November, signaling growing confidence among large market players.
