Kraken’s Interchange Asset Management Acquisition Paves Way For Institutional Investors

Kraken has made a huge leap towards mass crypto adoption via the acquisition of Interchange, an accounting reconciliation and reporting service provider for cryptocurrency hedge funds, asset managers, and fund administrators. 

Interchange is already providing services for at least 60 institutions, including digital assets accounting and administration company MG Stove according to the press release.

The result of the deal is the creation of the first end-to-end crypto trading and reconciliation platform which included Dan Held and Clark Moody, the founders of Interchange to Kraken.

As a result of this deal, the San Francisco-based exchange would be able to utilize Interchange’s tools to help the Institutional Investors manage, monitor and report their cryptocurrency holdings.
