Kraken's parent Payward is buying Lithuania's Saldo Bank, a first in the EU. Meanwhile Sberbank, JPMorgan and Schwab are all moving into crypto. Which bank is moving onchain next? @krakenfx @Payward

Kraken’s parent agreed to pay up to $600 million in May for a Hong Kong stablecoin card issuer, and the target was not an exchange or a token but plumbing, which tells you where the commercial opportunity sits in a region that reserves issuance for banks. Our pillar piece from Money Moves East: The Stablecoin Corridors in Asia in 2026 maps the operators building APAC’s stack by use case: - @_CapitalLayer connecting banks to on-chain settlement in the Taiwan–Japan–Korea trade corridor. - @reapglobal turning stablecoin treasury into corporate card spend. - @TripleAHQ running merchant acceptance with 15–20% of APAC merchant volume now on stablecoin checkout. - @Stabo2025 managing collections and treasury under a Hong Kong trust structure. - @movantis_global bringing its hybrid fiat-plus-stablecoin remittance model to the Philippines, India, and Indonesia. The common thread across all five: nobody is replacing fiat rails, they are adding a second one and routing each transaction through whichever is optimal under one compliance standard.

Kraken co-CEO Arjun Sethi says tokenized equities and AI-linked assets won’t replace Bitcoin ($BTC) or Ethereum ($ETH). He says capital is rotating into new crypto products, but those flows remain inside the broader crypto liquidity ecosystem.

Kraken parent company Payward and Singapore Gulf Bank (SGB), a fully licensed digital bank regulated by the Central Bank of Bahrain, have announced a strategic partnership. Payward has integrated SGB’s real-time, multi-currency clearing network, SGB Net, to provide institutional clients in specific jurisdictions across Asia and the Gulf region with 24/7 instant settlement. The service will initially support U.S. dollar transactions for select clients, with plans to expand to more clients and additional currencies. SGB will also connect to Payward’s Kraken Prime to access digital-asset liquidity and price trades for its own clients.

Kraken’s Parent Company Is Bringing U.S. Perps to Hyperliquid .@krakenfx parent company Payward is bringing on-chain perpetual futures to U.S. customers through @HyperliquidX. The important part isn’t just Kraken entering on-chain perps. It’s that Hyperliquid is becoming the infrastructure where a registered U.S. exchange and clearinghouse can deploy a market. The setup: • Payward provides access to U.S. customers • @Bitnomial deploys and clears the HIP-3 market • NinjaTrader Clearing hosts customer accounts • Hyperliquid provides the on-chain perpetuals infrastructure Payward says this will be the first registered U.S. exchange and clearinghouse to deploy a market on Hyperliquid. That makes HIP-3 particularly interesting. Hyperliquid is no longer only competing with CEXs for crypto-native traders. Its infrastructure is starting to connect with regulated U.S. market participants. If this model scales, Hyperliquid could become more than a place to trade perps. It could become the on-chain market infrastructure layer for regulated derivatives.
