【Chain Wen】Interestingly, leading exchange Kraken has recently expanded its product portfolio. According to the latest reports, the exchange plans to officially launch a prediction market feature next year, which is seen as another strategic move by the platform.

Speaking of strategic moves, Kraken has also recently completed the acquisition of Backed Finance—a platform focused on promoting tokenized stock issuance. This transaction, to some extent, reveals the exchange’s outlook on the future of tokenized assets.

From an industry perspective, prediction markets and tokenized stocks are becoming new focal points in Web3. Exchanges are beginning to realize that simple spot and derivatives trading are no longer sufficient; users demand more diverse asset types and trading methods. Kraken’s series of actions indicate that 2026 could usher in a new cycle of product innovation in the crypto market. Will tokenized stocks explode like DeFi? At least based on the actions of this leading exchange, they believe it’s worth a gamble.
