Kraken 是美国最著名的加密货币交易所之一，正在为下一步的重大举措做准备

Kraken 制定了在首次公开募股 (IPO) 之前筹集约 1 亿美元（约 1.6 万亿盾）的雄心勃勃的计划，展现了勇气和长期愿景

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

据彭博社报道，加密货币交易所 Kraken 计划在首次公开募股 (IPO) 之前筹集约 1 亿美元。

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.

报道援引知情人士的话称，此次筹款活动是 Kraken 在 2024 年底前上市的更广泛计划的一部分。

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 原计划于 2022 年通过与特殊目的收购公司 (SPAC) 合并的方式上市，追随 Coinbase 的脚步，Coinbase 于 2021 年 4 月在纳斯达克上市。

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，由于市场低迷，这些计划被搁置，其中包括 11 月份加密货币交易所 FTX 崩溃，比特币 (BTC) 价格跌至 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 月份加密货币市场状况的改善，比特币触及 73,737 美元的历史新高，可能会给 Kraken 带来新的希望，据报道，Kraken 今年预计将产生 20 亿美元的收入。

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 计划正面临法律挑战，美国证券交易委员会去年对 Kraken 提起诉讼，指控该交易所运营未注册的证券交易所。

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 月份提出了一项动议，驳回 SEC 的诉讼，认为大多数加密货币不是证券，并指责监管机构试图超越其管辖范围。

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

尽管面临法律挑战和雄心勃勃的筹款计划，Kraken 仍持乐观态度，并仍致力于继续发展其业务。

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

此举凸显了加密货币行业的弹性和适应性，该行业在挑战和监管不确定性的情况下继续寻求新的增长途径。
