Kraken Ending Its Crypto Staking Services for US Customers, Former SEC Attorney Weighs In
Kraken is shuttering its crypto staking-as-a-service platform for U.S. customers and will pay $30 million to settle SEC charges it offered unregistered securities. In a blog post, Kraken said it would automatically unstake any assets staked by U.S. clients except for staked ether, which won't be unstaked until after the Ethereum Network's Shanghai upgrade takes effect. Ketsal partner and former SEC Attorney Zachary Fallon discusses what this could mean for the future of SEC enforcement actions over the crypto industry.
