Kraken Rolls Out Commission-Free Stock Trading
Kraken, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, has officially begun offering commission-free trading for over 11,000 U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs, marking a major step into traditional finance.
The feature is currently live in New Jersey, Connecticut, and Alabama, with a full U.S. rollout expected soon, according to a company press release.
All-in-One Platform for Stocks, Crypto, and Cash
With this launch, Kraken users can now trade stocks, cryptocurrencies, cash, and stablecoins all within a single platform—via the Kraken mobile app, Kraken Pro, or its web interface.
The platform also supports fractional trading, allowing users to buy a portion of high-priced shares, making investing more accessible and affordable.

The expansion into equity markets is enabled by Kraken Securities LLC, a FINRA-regulated division of the company. With this addition, Kraken now allows users to seamlessly switch between digital assets and traditional equities using U.S. dollars, without needing multiple brokerage accounts.
“Crypto isn’t just evolving, it’s becoming the backbone for trading across asset classes, such as equities, commodities, and currencies,” said Arjun Sethi, Kraken’s co-CEO. “As demand for 24/7 global access grows, clients want a seamless, all-in-one trading experience.”
This move positions Kraken as one of the first major crypto platforms to directly compete in the traditional stock trading space, further blurring the lines between digital assets and traditional finance.
