  • The latest figures indicate that its performance has not been harmed by the SEC’s recent crackdown, at least for now.
  • The American regulator probed Kraken over possible violation of rules when offering securities as staking services to US consumers. Gary Gensler – SEC’s Chairman – previously urged all cryptocurrency entities to register with the watchdog. 
  • The agency’s actions against staking services forced Kraken to terminate such offerings. The exchange also paid $30 million in disgorgement, prejudgment interest, and civil penalties.
  • Despite the problems, it has not reported any wave of withdrawal requests, hinting that users remain unfazed by the dispute with the American regulator at the moment.
