We want to thank you for being part of our family. Today is a good day, and we know things are only going to get better. We’d like to leave you with a message from Jesse Powell, our CEO:
“The acquisition of Coinsetter and Cavirtex marks the beginning of a new era for Kraken. The consolidation of these three veteran giants is the largest exchange deal to date. Combined, we represent over thirteen years of bitcoin exchange experience in an industry that is only seven years old. Kraken has big, exciting plans for 2016. This year we will fully leverage what we’ve built as the world’s most trusted and secure bitcoin exchange. This is the year that we make long strides to capture key markets and crank up the volume. This is the year of the Kraken.”
