Capital in crypto markets is moving to new places.
On CNBC, Payward and Kraken Co-CEO Arjun Sethi described a rotation of investor interest toward perpetuals, pre-IPO companies and tokenized equities, including exposure to companies tied to the AI boom and also shared about our partnership with @SGB_app.
The bigger shift, he said, is about access. Permissionless, onchain markets can open tokenized traditional assets to investors anywhere, without the geographic limits that have shaped who gets in and when.

Kraken's parent company @Payward was the first crypto firm to join @AnthropicAI's Project Glasswing because in the AI era, custody security has never mattered more.
Institutions with large treasuries in custody need certainty their assets are secure.
Kraken Custody delivers:
🔒Frontier AI that finds vulnerabilities before attackers do
🔒Transaction rules enforced in hardware, not software
🔒Keys never leave FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified hardware
🔒No single person can move client assets
Kraken security is designed to combat threats that AI makes possible. Talk to our team to learn more:

Payward has filed to bring single-stock perpetual futures to US traders on Kraken.
Ten US equities to start: $TSLA $SPCX $NVDA $AVGO $MU $AAPL $MSFT $AMZN $GOOGL $PLTR
We're also working toward 24/5 trading - because stock markets close, and the events that move them don't. The goal is to give traders a way to respond when news breaks, not when the bell rings.

Payward supports the @SECGov innovation exemption.
Technology moves faster than rulemaking. That's not a flaw in either - it's why sensible exemptions matter. US competitiveness depends on Americans being able to participate in cutting-edge technology at home, not watching it get built offshore.
We look forward to working with the Commission as this moves forward.

Tokenization only becomes valuable when it connects to the infrastructure people already use.
Custody, exchanges, institutional APIs, fintechs, and applications.
Over the past few months:
- @coinbase selected Centrifuge as a Preferred Tokenization Infrastructure
- @KrakenInsto integrated $JAAA into qualified custody
- @okx opened access to $deJTRSY and $deJAAA, arriving on @XLayerOfficial
- @ground_onchain integrated API access to $JTRSY and $JAAA
- @labs_compass made $deSPXA and $deJAAA callable by applications and AI agents
That's the direction we're building toward: tokenized assets that plug directly into the markets they're built to serve.
