Kraken Custody now provides qualified, regulated custody for the @solana SPL ecosystem. 18 tokens live at launch, with the infrastructure to support any SPL token going forward.

Today’s bipartisan vote in the Senate Banking Committee is an important signal of momentum for digital asset market structure legislation. We congratulate Chairman @SenatorTimScott, @SenLummis, @RubenGallego, @Sen_Alsobrooks and Committee members on both sides of the aisle for advancing the CLARITY Act and continuing the constructive work needed to bring this framework to the Senate floor. The case for action is clear. The U.S. is regulated across multiple layers today, but the CLARITY Act would establish the federal market structure framework needed to define digital asset categories, resolve SEC-CFTC jurisdictional lines, and create consistent standards for intermediaries.

Kraken is deprecating its existing cross-chain provider and migrating to @Chainlink CCIP as its exclusive cross-chain infra to secure Kraken Wrapped Bitcoin (kBTC) & all future Kraken Wrapped Assets. Kraken chose Chainlink CCIP because it offers enterprise-grade infrastructure with strict security & risk management requirements, including: • ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications • Secure by default architecture • 16 independent nodes • Native rate limits, and more. Together, Chainlink and Kraken can help accelerate the global adoption of crypto by unlocking utility and distribution for all Kraken Wrapped Assets across DeFi. For kBTC customers, no action is required. More details on the migration process to follow on official Kraken channels.

"The more of the stack we continue to build, the more liquidity we build, the more custody, staking and lending we can offer — not just to ourselves and our customers, but everyone — and we can let people build permissionlessly everywhere." - @arjunsethi
