BittBurger (@BittBurger) reportedHey @krakenfx @krakenpro - @krakenpro - Nearly $1.5 million just disappeared from my account when I initiated VAULT. No explanation. Just new warning emails that a suspicious "withdrawal" was initiated and my account is now "restricted" with a zero balance. No reply from support in nearly 24 hours. And I'm I'm not allowed to call anyone. Not a single Vault email or explanation. Just a zero balance and "we have locked your account". This level of incompetence and ****** messaging is quite frankly unforgivable. If initiating a Vault scares the **** out of your customers, empties their portfolio, and then locks down their account for possible fraud, you are not qualified to continue remaining in custody of my money.

ThatGuy2 (@Brandon49170976) reported@cryptodylnews @krakenfx I think there is something to it. How come you dont hear about fartcoin, pudgy penguins, or Eth for that matter glitching like this. Once might be a glitch, but this has occurred half a dozen times on different exchanges. Coincidences only go so far. 🤔

UTDKobi (@TheUTDKobi) reported@FabrizioRomano @krakenfx Odegaard was playing like a cockless mf Sørloth was an assh.le and greedy mf In fact the whole Norwegian team was playing like slow bums. Sickly slow at playing proper passes. They made Haaland wasteful upfront. I just wondered how this selfish, dumbass team eliminated Brazil.

Marcel van Oost (@oost_marcel) reported👀 @krakenfx is eyeing a banking license in Europe 🇱🇹 Here's what's happening: Recent reports say that Kraken is targeting Lithuania to add a banking layer on top of its existing EU setup. Kraken already has: • MiCA authorization via the Central Bank of Ireland • A MiFID license through Cyprus That combo lets it offer regulated services across the EU, and it's been leaning on that status hard since MiCA enforcement kicked in on July 1. A banking license would push things further: • Direct rails between crypto trading and traditional banking • Stronger positioning for custody, payments, and institutional services And this isn't happening in isolation. Kraken Financial became the first crypto firm to get direct Fedwire access earlier this year in the US. CEO Arjun Sethi put it clearly at Money 2020 Europe: 💬 "The plan for the next 10 years is to get all of these licenses, either through buying an existing business, or going de novo in each region and starting from scratch." Crypto exchanges are quietly turning into banks, one license at a time.

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).
