Kraken Drops $1.5B Bomb with NinjaTrader Buyout—Funded Accounts Surge 26% Amid Crypto’s Quiet Comeback
Kraken just flexed its M&A muscles with a ninja-quick $1.5 billion acquisition of trading platform NinjaTrader—because nothing says ’bull market’ like throwing around billion-dollar deals before breakfast.
The move comes as Kraken reports a 26% quarter-over-quarter jump in funded accounts, suggesting traders are creeping back into crypto like cats to a keyboard—just in time for Wall Street to pretend they never left.
While traditional finance scrambles to slap blockchain labels on PowerPoint slides, actual crypto natives are quietly rebuilding—one acquisition, one user surge at a time. The revolution won’t be televised... but it might get acquired by a Kraken.
