Kraken Eyes Germany
In its official statement released today, May 6, Kraken revealed that following a partnership with DLT Finance, Kraken plans to anchor its foothold in one of Europe’s key markets, Germany. Further, starting July 10 this year, the company expects to unveil a stockpile of crypto-related services nationwide.
