Transparency through certificate of reserves
Today we are also announcing completion Proof of our latest reserve As of March 31, 2025, Kraken was managed safely.
Industry participants often rely on a single proof of auditors, but Krake continues to set the rods more by allowing the customer’s assets to be completely supported. We do this by creating a validable Merkle Tree Proof that can be confirmed that the client’s third -party account company has been verified independently of the account balance. In other words, Kraken is entirely responsible for unmatched customers for the integrity of holding.
Kraken has pioneered regular reserve evidence before the industry’s expectations, and we are one of the few platforms that can perform this process. We will continue to proof of reserves and move to the quarterly Cadence. This consistent transparency is the basis of the way we operate and will remain a major differentiation factor by expanding products and services in asset classes.
Strong Q1
Kraken’s performance in the first quarter of 2025 shows a thriving position during market volatility and shows that momentum is being built while investing in a long -term investment on the platform. As the encryption environment continues to develop, we continue to work to provide value for customers, partners and wider ecosystems.
