Kraken Gobbles NinjaTrader in Aggressive Expansion Move as Q1 Revenue Surges 19% YoY
Kraken just played its acquisition card—snapping up derivatives platform NinjaTrader in a power move that coincides with a 19% revenue jump. Because nothing says ’bull market’ like consolidation fever.
Why it matters: The exchange is doubling down on derivatives as crypto’s institutional players keep demanding more leverage (and regulators keep pretending they don’t).
The kicker: This lands just as Kraken reports Q1 earnings that outpaced 2024—proving once again that in crypto, the house always wins (even when it claims to be ’for the people’).
