Will Kraken list more assets?

Yes! But our policy is to never reveal any details before launch – not even which assets we are considering. All of Kraken’s listed assets are available on our website and all future tokens will be announced on Kraken’s blog and social media profiles. Our client engagement specialists cannot answer any questions about which assets we may be listing in the future.
