London Stock Exchange partners with Kraken parent for tokenized UK stocks. CryptoWorld September 1, 2026 Crypto News 3 minutes read The London Stock Exchange (LSE) and cryptocurrency exchange Kraken are reportedly launching tokenized stock trading on the stock market operator's new night-time trading venue. The LSE has partnered with Kraken's parent company, Payward, to launch access to tokenized stocks tracking the value of leading UK equity products starting in 2027, Payward's chief commercial officer, Mark Greenberg, told the Financial Times according to a Tuesday report. The tokenized stocks will be listed on LSE's new night-time trading venue, LSE 24, that will offer 24/5 trading, operating from Mondays to Fridays, the company announced on July 21. The initiative makes the London bourse the latest traditional exchange operator to explore blockchain-based stock offerings that can be traded 24 hours a day with fractional ownership. Other traditional finance (TradFi) institutions exploring tokenized equity products include the Nasdaq, CME Group and the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In August, Nasdaq agreed to acquire LeveL Markets, the third-largest alternative trading system in the US by trading volume, as part of its push into tokenized markets with round-the-clock trading. TradFi companies deepen tokenization push. Some of the world's largest TradFi institutions have been exploring tokenized stock offerings. In March, Nasdaq, the world's second-largest stock exchange by market capitalization, partnered with Payward and its Backed subsidiary, the issuer behind xStocks, to develop an equities transformation gateway. The plan builds on Nasdaq's tokenization proposal filed with US securities regulators in September 2025. A week earlier, ICE invested in crypto exchange OKX to bring NYSE-listed tokenized stocks to the exchange starting from the second quarter of 2026. In April, Deutsche Börse invested $200 million in Payward, as part of the German exchange operator's plans to offer access to a wider array of blockchain-based securities and tokenized investment products and build on its prior partnership with Kraken. In January, CME Group, the largest derivatives exchange by volume, announced plans to launch crypto futures contracts tied to Cardano (ADA), Chainlink LINK and Stellar (XLM). Three months later, CME announced plans to add Avalanche AVAX and Sui SUI futures contracts starting May 4, subject to regulatory approval. Tokenized stocks, total value onchain, all-time chart.

Webull expands cryptocurrency services to retail clients in Canada. August 31, 2026 The Currency Analytics general Positive Webull is expanding its cryptocurrency trading services to retail clients in Canada, bringing commission-competitive digital asset access to one of North America's most crypto-progressive regulatory environments. The move positions Webull crypto Canada as a direct competitor to established platforms like Coinbase, Kraken, and homegrown exchanges including Bitbuy and NDAX, intensifying the battle for Canadian retail crypto investors. Canada has emerged as a strategic growth market for crypto exchanges following the OSC's progressive licensing framework, making Webull's entry timely as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) continue attracting mainstream retail interest. For Canadian investors searching for low-cost crypto trading platforms, Webull's expansion offers a familiar brokerage interface that bridges traditional stock trading and digital asset investing - a combination that has proven popular with younger retail traders in the United States. The launch reflects the accelerating global expansion of crypto retail services and the growing expectation among investors that full-service brokerages offer seamless access to both equities and digital currencies within a single platform. As regulatory clarity around crypto exchange licensing in Canada continues to improve, Webull's entry could pressure incumbents to enhance their product offerings and reduce fees. Watch for Webull's official token lineup and fee structure announcement, which will determine how competitively it can challenge established Canadian crypto exchanges for retail market share. Webull just pushed into Canada. The trading platform is now offering cryptocurrency services to Canadian retail clients, folding digital assets into a lineup that already covers stocks, ETFs, and options. Canada becomes the fourth market where Webull runs crypto - joining the United States, Australia, and Brazil.

Kraken Prime rolls out unified trading, settlement and access tools. * Nicholet R. * Published: August 27, 2026 * 12:51 pm * Updated: August 27, 2026 * 12:51 pm Table of Contents Kraken said August 27 that it overhauled Kraken Prime from an API-access platform into a full institutional interface covering execution, settlement, access controls and order management. The redesign brings multi-venue liquidity and programmatic pricing into a single regulated workflow, reducing reliance on desk-managed or API-only processes. Prime clients can now self-manage the full post-trade settlement cycle, including batch creation, live exposure monitoring, settlement confirmation and report exports. The interface also unifies orders, fills and trade history whether execution came through the UI, API or Kraken's desk, giving operations and compliance teams one real-time view of institutional activity without separate data pulls. Kraken also added role-based permissions and direct access to limit, market, Spot RFQ and TWAP orders. Existing Prime clients can reach the interface through Kraken Pro, while full settlement automation is still being developed. The next test is whether self-service controls and a unified execution record can reduce operational friction at institutional scale.
