Kraken, one of the most prominent cryptocurrency trading platforms, is on track to launch its own blockchain dubbed "Ink," according to a Thursday report by Bloomberg.
The exchange will follow in the footsteps of its archrival Coinbase, which released its Base blockchain to the public last August.
According to data provided by DefiLlama, Base is the fifth largest blockchain by total value locked (behind only Ethereum, Tron, Solana, and BSC).
Ink's testnet is supposed to kick off his year, according to the Bloomberg report. It will become available to the general public in Q1 2025.
Kraken, which was launched back in 2011, is, of course, one of the oldest cryptocurrency exchanges on the market.
