Alongside its tax reform push, Kraken is also moving toward a potential public listing. The company previously filed confidentially for an IPO with the US Securities and Exchange Commission in late 2025, though volatile market conditions reportedly delayed progress.Despite that pause, Kraken co-CEO Arjun Sethi recently confirmed that the company still intends to go public in the near future. The firm’s dual focus on regulatory advocacy and expansion highlights how major crypto exchanges are increasingly engaging with policy debates while scaling traditional financial ambitions.
