Definitely Savage (@savagepunts) reported@FUNCURVEMEDIA @krakensupport Sup bro I’m facing the same issue, have they gotten back to you?!

Maskripto (@fypdonk) reported@mwturetzky @ChatGPTapp As Head of Litigation, how does @krakenfx justify using the HTX incident as a blanket excuse to freeze assets that have already been cleared through personal wallets? Forcing long-term users (8+ years) into a legal dead-end by demanding 'Specific Licences' is an impossible burden. We’ve provided clear proof of ownership. If assets are verified legitimate, why is a refund/reversal not offered? We deserve a fair resolution, not a compliance loop that treats innocent users as collateral damage. Ticket #21610793

Kodark🃏 (@kodarkweb3) reported@Hodl_fm @krakenfx Regulation is the real catalyst. The products matter, but access matters more.

leogarbarino (@leogarbarino1) reported@arjunsethi Hey @KrakenSupport, our corporate onboarding has been delayed for 4 weeks with no helpful responses from the standard support channel. As an operating business, we urgently need this escalated to the institutional compliance team to manage our treasury. Ticket: #21429690

Olivia Vande Woude (@cryptoreine) reportedImo, here's why Kraken pursuing a banking license makes institutional sense... @krakenfx is layering a regulated banking wrapper around its crypto business, to unlock deposit powers, payment rails, & institutional grade trust that exchanges cannot access. 3 reasons: -Deposit economics. Pure exchanges live on volatile trading fees. A banking license enables deposit taking, equalling a) cheaper funding, b) predictable revenue, and stickier relationships. Revolut's 2018 Lithuania license was foundational to scaling into a €40B+ business with diversified products. This reveals a similar playbook. -Access to tradfi rails. Fedwire, SWIFT, SEPA, ACH, direct central bank access require banking status. Kraken Financial (Wyoming SPDI) already secured a Fed master account in March 2026 (the first for a crypto-native firm). An EU banking license would deepen integration globally. Institutional treasuries and corporates routinely avoid moving meaningful capital via unlicensed exchanges due to risk/compliance/policy constraints. -RWA unlock. As tokenized bonds, equities, funds, & receivables scale, institutions demand regulated custody + banking-grade infrastructure for assets. Kraken has already moved aggressively: acquired Backed, listed RWAs, & built institutional offerings. A Lithuanian banking license removes an adoption blockade. Kraken appears to be executing a hybrid strategy: crypto infrastructure PLUS regulated banking (not abandonment of either).

Ray (@primeray333) reported@krakenpro @krakenfx @follis_ #krakenfx #krakensupport are you going to compensate me for locking $H I even have documentation that I was chatting with you and wanted to withdraw when it was at .60 cents, it’s in your support messages. There’s no issue with $H gateway, you locked h for 9 days purposely

Eugene Booyens (@ebooyens) reported@MikeDawnes This seems super dodgy - if you work for Kraken then you should be able to access my DM sent to @krakensupport and the tickets already raised
-
Rednas (@rednasyeah) reported@krakensupport Thank you for getting back to me and the link. It specifies though that this is a UK specific ban of HTX, so how can this basically block all worldwide people that use, or have used, the htx platform? Perhaps there's something your legal team can do?

Our Crypto Talk (@ourcryptotalk) reportedRobinhood has just entered the tokenized stocks race. The issue is that there are already many frontrunners. $ONDO, @krakenfx , @binance , @SuperstateInc all have a head-start over the newly starting Robinhood. The tokenized-stock market is ~$1.24B on-chain. Three names control 90%+ of it. Robinhood controls 0% on day one. Who's actually winning: → Ondo Global Markets : the leader. ~50% share, first platform ever to $1B TVL, 260+ stocks, settlement pilots with JPMorgan, Mastercard, Ripple. Two-year head start. → xStocks (Backed, via Kraken + Bybit) : the distribution king. 162k holders vs Ondo's 70k, $25B+ traded. Kraken bought them outright in December. → Binance bStocks : the disruptor. 0 to ~14% share in under a month. Fastest entry the sector has ever seen. → Superstate + Dinari : the quiet ones building the thing that actually matters. Above are the numbers and things Vlad Tenev and his team should be worried about. What should the users be worried about? Know this - Under the same "AAPL" ticker, these are NOT the same product. What you legally own changes by issuer: Real registered share → Superstate, Dinari A claim on a share → Ondo, xStocks, Binance A debt token → Robinhood Robinhood's Stock Tokens are debt securities from a Jersey shell company. You get the price movement. You do not get the share. No ownership, no voting, no rights. Bottom tier on the one thing that counts. So why does this matter for Robinhood? Because its whole edge is the app and the brand, not the product. If distribution wins this race, it has a real shot against Binance and Kraken. If structure and trust win, it's launching behind Ondo, Superstate, and Dinari with nothing on-chain to point to. A chain with one tenant is not an ecosystem. The number to watch over the next two quarters isn't how many stocks Robinhood lists. It's whether a single builder other than Robinhood ever ships on Robinhood Chain. What this means for you: Tokenized stocks are not stocks. Most of them are IOUs that track a price. That's fine for exposure, but know what you're holding: if the issuer fails, "I own a debt note from a Jersey SPV" and "I own the share" end up in very different places. Two rules before you touch any of them: > Ask what the token legally is, not what ticker it copies. > Convenience and brand are not the same as ownership.

Ray (@primeray333) reportedWhy is #kraken #krakensupport the only exchange that can’t trade $H. They say it’s a problem with humanity’s gateway but no other exchange is having issues. They froze it for 9 days causing holders to lose money. Seems like they don’t want liquidity leaving their platform.
-
Ray (@primeray333) reported@krakenfx @FIFAWorldCup #Krackenfx how about unlocking #humanity so we aren’t forced to loss money. They’re being deliberately vague. They keep saying “there was an incident” or “there’s a gateway problem,” but they refuse to clearly say whose problem it is. Other exchanges are trading just fine.
