Kraken Targets $13.3B IPO Valuation as Crypto Markets Stabilize
Kraken is pressing ahead with plans to list in the U.S., even as crypto markets remain choppy. Speaking at the Semafor World Economy 2026 Conference in Washington, co-CEO Arjun Sethi said the exchange has "confidentially filed" for an initial public offering, pushing back on speculation that the IPO had been shelved. Sethi added that Kraken wants to bring sophisticated, professional-grade trading tools to everyday investors. Kraken first submitted IPO paperwork to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in November 2025, according to CNBC. Institutional appetite for the company appears intact. Deutsche Börse Group recently invested $200 million in Kraken parent Payward for a 1.5% stake, implying a valuation of about $13.3 billion. The figure remains below Kraken's prior $20 billion valuation. Kraken said the relationship is aimed at narrowing the gap between crypto and traditional finance by building a more connected and efficient setup for institutional investors. The exchange has also been expanding beyond retail trading, positioning itself to offer deeper liquidity, more advanced tools and a more stable ecosystem as the industry matures. Kraken's path to a public listing has been uneven, with valuation pressure and earlier hesitation during the market downturn. Conditions have improved as Bitcoin rebounded, rising back toward $76,000 in April, a recovery that could support Kraken's timing for a debut. Separately, a Kraken-backed SPAC, KRAKacquisition, has outlined plans for a $10 billion acquisition search focused on targets tied to stablecoins, DeFi, tokenization and digital payments.

Silver set for another supply shortfall in 2026; volatility and investment demand in focus
The silver market is headed for another year of tight supply in 2026, with investors likely to face continued price swings and possible liquidity strains through the rest of this year, according to the Silver Institute's annual Silver Survey. The report, prepared by U.K.-based research firm Metals Focus, forecasts a sixth straight annual deficit, pegged at 46.3 million ounces. The projection highlights how prolonged undersupply has been drawing down above-ground inventories, leaving the market more exposed to fresh bouts of volatility. Full article at Kitco:

U.S., Iran Consider Two-Week Extension of Current Ceasefire
The United States and Iran are weighing a two-week extension of their existing ceasefire, according to reports. Talks are said to be centered on keeping the halt in direct military action in place as global energy markets remain on edge. If approved, the extension would create a key diplomatic window after peace negotiations in Pakistan collapsed earlier this week.

Kraken Revives IPO Track; Deutsche Börse Invests $200M for 1.5% Stake
Kraken has restarted preparations for a U.S. initial public offering after putting the process on hold earlier, citing improved market conditions. Co-CEO Arjun Sethi said Tuesday in Washington, D.C. that the crypto exchange has confidentially filed for an IPO in the U.S. and is keeping the registration active while it assesses timing. Sethi made the remarks at the Semafor World Economy conference, adding that Kraken is continuing to broaden access to advanced trading tools for retail users. The renewed listing push comes alongside a new strategic investment. Deutsche Börse Group has agreed to invest $200 million in Kraken for a 1.5% fully diluted stake, an investment Bloomberg said implies a valuation of about $13.3 billion. That marks a pullback from the roughly $20 billion valuation cited in late 2025. Kraken first submitted a draft Form S-1 to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in November 2025 but did not set a listing timetable. The company later paused the process during a market downturn. Deutsche Börse confirmed the $200 million investment and signaled that the relationship could deepen ties between Kraken and its digital-market infrastructure, including 360T and 360X, which support foreign-exchange trading and tokenized securities. The partners aim to strengthen connectivity between traditional markets and digital assets. Kraken has also been expanding its product suite. The exchange recently rolled out tokenized stocks, which have surpassed $5 billion in volume across venues and attracted more than 37,000 users. While the IPO schedule remains undecided, market conditions have improved from earlier this year, when Kraken paused plans as crypto prices fell. At that time, Bitcoin was down about 40% from its October peak. More recently, Bitcoin rose to around $76,000 and gained about 9% in April. Kraken reported strong momentum in 2025: revenue climbed 33% to more than $2.2 billion, supported by trading and asset-based services. Transaction volume hit $2 trillion, and platform assets grew to $48.2 billion.

Morgan Stanley CFO Puts Tokenization at the Center of Wealth Management's Next Chapter
Morgan Stanley is sharpening its focus on tokenization and blockchain-based infrastructure, positioning on-chain finance as a logical evolution in how it serves wealth-management clients. On the firm's first-quarter earnings call, executives outlined a future where assets and liabilities can move more seamlessly across digital rails, moving beyond traditional account-based systems. "How do you think of a tokenized world? How do you think of an onchain world where you can move assets quickly, the same way you'd be able to move those liabilities quickly?" Chief Financial Officer Sharon Yeshaya said. The remarks are notable given the size of Morgan Stanley's wealth business, which oversees trillions of dollars in client assets and remains a key driver of the firm's growth. Any shift in how assets are transferred, financed, or advised on within that platform could ripple across the broader financial industry. Executives framed tokenization as part of the bank's core wealth strategy rather than a standalone crypto push. They linked the concept to advisory, lending, and cash management, suggesting digital infrastructure could reshape portfolio management and how clients access liquidity. "We would be there to offer different types of products on the asset side," Yeshaya said, adding the firm is also evaluating "what kinds of things might exist on the lending side for onchain… and how do you also move and think about all of those digital assets." The comments reflect a broader industry trend: major banks are increasingly exploring blockchain to modernize financial plumbing rather than upend it. At Morgan Stanley, the approach remains measured but is advancing. The firm recently launched a digital-asset pilot with Zero Hash that enables select E*Trade clients to buy and sell major cryptocurrencies. While limited, the program offers a controlled way to test client demand. Morgan Stanley has also strengthened its digital-asset leadership, naming Amy Oldenburg as head of digital assets earlier this year. It has taken steps to broaden bitcoin access through its own spot bitcoin ETF, MSBT, which is up 8% since launching a week ago. Even so, digital assets remain a small part of the business. The bigger emphasis appears to be long-term infrastructure. "There's a lot of creative space in terms of the advice-driven model," Yeshaya said.

Tether Investments Takes Part in $134M Raise for Stablecoin Development Corp
Tether Investments said it participated in a $134 million financing round for Stablecoin Development Corporation, a crypto infrastructure firm listed on NYSE American under the ticker SDEV. In a statement dated April 15, 2026, Tether Investments confirmed its participation and named R01 Fund LP, Framework Ventures and other digital-asset investors as fellow backers. The announcement did not include a valuation, details on the use of proceeds, or Tether's ownership stake. Stablecoin Development Corporation's investor-relations materials link the financing to a January 2026 private placement that generated gross proceeds for the company. The company said that placement included 943.6 million freely tradable SKY tokens. It also reported that, as of March 31, 2026, it held about 2.15 billion SKY tokens—roughly 9.15% of total supply—and had accumulated around 35.3 million SKY in staking rewards. The disclosures stand out because they pair a sizable raise with a public-company structure and an already-material token treasury, moving beyond a generic partnership headline. Prior reporting highlighted the firm's rebrand from NovaBay and its near-9% SKY position; Tether's participation adds a clearer view of the financing and the investor lineup. Market data referenced in the report showed USDT holding its $1.00 peg, with market capitalization near $185.5 billion and 24-hour trading volume around $71.0 billion. Risk sentiment remained cautious, with the Fear and Greed Index at 23 (Extreme Fear). In that context, the investment reads as a strategic infrastructure allocation rather than a momentum-driven bet. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said in the April 15, 2026 announcement: "Stablecoins are already being used far beyond trading, especially in places where traditional systems don't work well." Key items to watch include any further treasury updates from SDEV through its investor-relations channel, and whether broader market conditions—including flows into crypto-linked products and global spot-trading activity—continue to support new allocations into crypto infrastructure. Tether's statement confirms participation in a formally disclosed financing involving a publicly traded company with significant SKY holdings. It does not, based on the available information, establish long-term business outcomes, valuation upside, or guaranteed mainstream adoption.
