Kraken 是美國最著名的加密貨幣交易所之一，正在為下一步的重大舉措做準備

Kraken 制定了在首次公開發行 (IPO) 之前籌集約 1 億美元（約 1.6 兆盾）的雄心勃勃的計劃，展現了勇氣和長期願景

Crypto exchange Kraken is reportedly planning to raise about $100 million ahead of its initial public offering (IPO), according to a Bloomberg report.

根據彭博社報道，加密貨幣交易所 Kraken 計劃在首次公開發行 (IPO) 之前籌集約 1 億美元。

The fundraising effort is part of Kraken’s broader plan to go public before the end of 2024, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter.

報道引述知情人士的話稱，此次募款活動是 Kraken 在 2024 年底前上市的更廣泛計畫的一部分。

Kraken had planned to go public in 2022 via a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), following in the footsteps of Coinbase, which went public on the Nasdaq in April 2021.

Kraken 原計劃於 2022 年透過與特殊目的收購公司 (SPAC) 合併的方式上市，追隨 Coinbase 的腳步，Coinbase 於 2021 年 4 月在納斯達克上市。

However, those plans were put on hold amid a downturn in markets, including the collapse of crypto exchange FTX in November, which saw the price of Bitcoin (BTC) drop to around $16,000.

然而，由於市場低迷，這些計劃被擱置，其中包括 11 月加密貨幣交易所 FTX 崩潰，比特幣 (BTC) 價格跌至 16,000 美元左右。

But improving crypto market conditions in March, with Bitcoin hitting an all-time high of $73,737, could offer fresh hope for Kraken, which is reportedly expecting to generate $2 billion in revenue this year.

但 3 月加密貨幣市場狀況的改善，比特幣觸及 73,737 美元的歷史新高，可能會給 Kraken 帶來新的希望，據報道，Kraken 今年預計將產生 20 億美元的收入。

Kraken’s IPO plans come amid legal challenges, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission having filed a lawsuit against Kraken last year, alleging that the exchange operated an unregistered securities exchange.

Kraken 的 IPO 計畫正面臨法律挑戰，美國證券交易委員會去年對 Kraken 提起訴訟，指控該交易所營運未註冊的證券交易所。

Kraken filed a motion to dismiss the SEC’s lawsuit in February, arguing that the majority of cryptocurrencies are not securities and accusing the regulator of attempting to overreach its jurisdiction.

Kraken 在 2 月提出了一項動議，駁回 SEC 的訴訟，認為大多數加密貨幣不是證券，並指責監管機構試圖超越其管轄範圍。

Despite the legal challenges and the ambitious fundraising plans, Kraken is said to be optimistic and remains committed to continuing to grow its business.

儘管面臨法律挑戰和雄心勃勃的籌款計劃，Kraken 仍持樂觀態度，並仍致力於繼續發展業務。

The move highlights the resilience and adaptability of the crypto industry, which continues to seek new avenues for growth amid challenges and regulatory uncertainty.

此舉凸顯了加密貨幣行業的彈性和適應性，該行業在挑戰和監管不確定性的情況下繼續尋求新的成長途徑。
