原文标题:又一加密巨头冲击IPO,Kraken以估值200亿美元递交申请


11 月 19 日,知名加密货币交易所 Kraken 正式向美国证券交易委员会秘密提交了 S-1 表格注册声明草案,拟发行普通股,股份数量和发行价格区间尚未确定,此次首次公开募股预计将在美 SEC 完成审查程序后进行,具体时间取决于市场情况和其他条件。

在公司提交 S-1 表格前一天,Kraken 也宣布完成两阶段共 8 亿美元的融资,估值达到 200 亿美元。

在推进 IPO 前,Kraken 已有不少全球扩张的举措,上月 Kraken 才宣布以约 1 亿美元的价格美国受商品期货交易委员会 (CFTC) 监管的指定合约市场 Small Exchange,不仅扩大 Kraken 的合规版图,也旨在强化其 IPO 布局,而此次提交申请便是印证了 Kraken 对市场时机的信心。

完成 8 亿美元融资后将深化全球布局

近几年,Kraken 扩展到全球多个市场,提供超过 450 种数字资产交易、传统期货、股票、ETF 和多种法币支持。其产品线包括 Kraken App、Kraken Pro、Kraken Institutional 等,涵盖零售和机构用户需求。

根据 Kraken Q3 财报,第三季度实现收入 6.48 亿美元,较上一季度增长 47% ; EBITDA 增长 124%,利润率达 27.6% ; 平台交易量 5619 亿美元,增长 23% ; 资产总额 593 亿美元,增长 34%。这些强劲业绩为其融资和 IPO 提供了基础。

回顾这次融资细节,Kraken 的 8 亿美元募资分为两个阶段完成。第一阶段由机构投资者主导,包括 Jane Street、DRW Venture Capital、HSG、Oppenheimer Alternative Investment Management 和 Tribe Capital 等知名机构,同时还有 Kraken 联席 CEO Arjun Sethi 家族办公室提供的财务支持,估值为 150 亿美元。第二阶段则是来自 Citadel Securities 的 2 亿美元战略投资,估值为 200 亿美元。

同时,这轮融资将 Kraken 的估值推升至 200 亿美元。作为对比,目前 Coinabse 公开市值为 694 亿美元,第三季度收入为 Kraken 的 3 倍,而 Ripple 上月融资的估值则为 400 亿美元。

据官方报告指出,Kraken 计划将这笔融资资金用于扩大全球运营,计划进军拉丁美洲、亚太和欧洲、中东及非洲等新兴市场,同时将产品扩展到加密货币以外的产品。

近几个月,Kraken 已整合美国期货交易(通过收购 NinjaTrader)、推出股票和代币化股票交易,以及全球支付、储蓄和投资应用 KRAK,目标旨在将传统金融产品线完整上链。

Polymarket 预测 Kraken 将在明年三月底完成 IPO

昨日 Kraken 以 Payward Inc. 向 SEC 提交 S-1 表格的草案,提出公开发行普通股。虽然股份数量和价格范围尚未确定,但这项保密提交允许公司在不立即公开细节的情况下进行内部准备和审核,预计 IPO 将在 SEC 完成审查后进行,视市场条件而定。

Kraken 长期以来都有意上市。2021 年初,联合创始人 Jesse Powell 就透露称,Kraken 的目标是在 2022 年初上市。尽管主要竞争对手 Coinbase 早在 4 年前就已经上市,但 Kraken 都迟迟未采取任何实质性举措。此次提交申请显示 Kraken 对市场时机的信心,尤其在监管环境改善的背景之下。

在 X 上,@baeko_02 分享 Polymarket 预测市场数据,参考历史,Bullish 在提交 IPO 文件后 2 个月上市,Gemini 约 6 个月,市场则预期 Kraken IPO 将成为 2026 年初的焦点事件。

根据 Polymarket 最新数据,交易员们预测 Kraken 将在今年 12 月 31 日完成 IPO 的机率仅 4%,而 2026 年 3 月 31 日为 69%,这反映了市场对 Kraken IPO 时程的共识。

Tiger Research: Zuckerberg Begins Betting on Prediction Markets, While Asian Nations Still View Them as Gambling

This article examines the rise of prediction markets, contrasting their growing institutional acceptance in the West with their restrictive regulation in Asia. It details how prediction markets, which originated from informal political betting and academic experiments like the Iowa Electronic Market, aggregate crowd wisdom into probabilistic prices through binary contracts. Their growth accelerated around 2020, reaching over $14 billion in monthly volume. A key driver is the "skin in the game" principle, where users risk their own capital, leading to high accuracy in predicting events like Fed rate decisions and elections, as demonstrated by platforms like Polymarket. Meta's entry, with Mark Zuckerberg reportedly leading the development of the Arena app, signals the market's maturation. In the U.S., court rulings have distinguished prediction markets from gambling, facilitating entry by traditional financial institutions. However, most Asian jurisdictions still classify them as gambling, focusing on social control rather than financial innovation. The article argues this stance creates three problems for Asia: 1) regulatory arbitrage pushes users to riskier offshore platforms, 2) loss of sovereign information infrastructure as valuable social sentiment data accumulates abroad, and 3) abandonment of user protection. It concludes that Asia needs a policy shift from prohibition to constructive regulation, integrating these markets into the formal system to harness their data as a national asset, as initiatives like Limitless Research are beginning to do.

Ethereum's Next Decade in the Eyes of Vitalik

"Lean Ethereum" Long-Term Roadmap Unveiled by Vitalik Buterin On July 5, 2026, Vitalik Buterin published the "Lean Ethereum" roadmap, positioning it as Ethereum's third major evolution following the Merge. This multi-year, multi-phase upgrade aims to fundamentally transform Ethereum's core protocol through staged network upgrades extending to 2029. Key goals include achieving 1 gigagas per second L1 throughput (a massive increase from the current ~32 TPS), near-instant finality, and quantum-resistant cryptography. The plan involves transitioning Ethereum's security model from full transaction re-execution by all nodes to native verification via recursive STARK proofs. A major proposed change is replacing the EVM with a proof-friendly architecture like RISC-V or leanISA, though this remains a point of contention, especially with L2s like Arbitrum favoring alternatives like WASM. Other planned upgrades include a restructured state model with a large, cheap "warehouse" storage layer to drastically reduce fees for migrated applications, multi-dimensional gas pricing, and a new focus on making privacy a first-class, native protocol feature. While the roadmap significantly raises Ethereum's long-term technical ceiling, analysts note it does not directly address ETH's mid-term token economics or value capture. The plan's multi-year timeline means near-term price impact will likely depend on observable progress milestones, such as the successful deployment of the upcoming Glamsterdam gas limit increase, growth in L2 activity and blob usage, and trends in L1 fee revenue and ETH burn.

In Just 11 Days, Claude Rewrote Millions of Lines of Code, an Epic AI Engineering Feat Sparks Fury

In just 11 days, Bun's founder Jarred Sumner used Anthropic's Claude AI models to rewrite its million lines of code from Zig to Rust. This move sparked significant controversy, particularly from Zig's creator, Andrew Kelley, who publicly criticized Sumner's engineering practices and the decision to use AI for such a massive rewrite. Bun, a high-performance JavaScript/TypeScript runtime and rival to Node.js, was originally written in Zig. After Anthropic acquired Bun, the team encountered persistent stability and memory safety bugs in the Zig codebase. These issues, combined with Zig's strict policy against LLM-generated code, led to the decision to rewrite in Rust. The rewrite was executed using Claude AI tools at an estimated API cost of $165,000, dramatically reducing the expected time and financial cost. Andrew Kelley's response was scathing. He blamed the original bugs on poor engineering habits, calling Bun's Zig code a collection of "hacks on top of hacks." He expressed relief that Bun was no longer associated with Zig, fearing it would misrepresent the language and attract low-quality, AI-generated contributions. The tech community is divided; some view Kelley's critique as unprofessional, while others see it as a defense of engineering integrity. A major concern about the AI-driven rewrite is the resulting code quality. The translation from Zig left approximately 27,000 lines of unsafe Rust code, raising fears about long-term maintainability and technical debt. The debate centers on whether this project is a milestone in AI-assisted development or a future maintenance nightmare.

From Auto Finance to Bitcoin to AI Engines: An Analysis of Cango's 'What Not to Do' Strategy

From Auto Finance to Bitcoin and Now AI: Cango's "What Not to Do" Strategy Cango, a Chinese auto finance platform that went public on the NYSE in 2018, is undergoing its third major transformation. After selling its entire auto business in 2024, it pivoted to become a large-scale Bitcoin miner, acquiring 50 exahash of mining rigs from Bitmain. However, its true goal was never Bitcoin, but owning and controlling energy infrastructure. Now, Cango is pivoting again. While most listed Bitcoin miners are leasing power to giant hyperscalers for AI training clusters, Cango is taking the opposite path. It has launched an AI inference subsidiary called EcoHash, focusing not on training but on distributed inference. The company's strategy hinges on the insight that over 70% of mining industry power is controlled by small, independent sites (10-50 MW), which are too small for hyperscalers but ideal for low-latency AI inference. Cango aims to partner with these small operators, providing the AI technology, customers, and financing through its EcoLink software layer, which can distribute workloads across sites for reliability. Cango maintains a hybrid model, running roughly 31.7 EH/s of Bitcoin mining for cash flow while aggressively cleaning its balance sheet—slashing long-term debt by 94.5% to $30.6 million and raising $75 million for its AI venture. Its first AI deployment will be at a 50 MW site in Georgia. The strategy faces skepticism, given the high costs of converting mining sites and the potential for an AI bubble. However, Cango's leadership believes discipline around "what not to do"—avoiding direct competition with hyperscalers in training—positions it to capture the long-tail demand for distributed AI inference power.
