TechFlow reported on October 31 that, according to The Block, cryptocurrency exchange Kraken has launched Kraken Desktop, a fully customizable desktop trading application designed for active traders. Inspired by the popular Cryptowatch tool discontinued last year, the new app aims to deliver a more efficient trading experience through proprietary charts and technical analysis tools.
Kraken stated that Kraken Desktop is now officially available following a successful private beta, offering full access to all spot and futures markets, along with newly added tools to enhance trading functionality and performance. Built on a Rust technology stack, the application supports low-latency trading and includes advanced features such as ladder trading and automated orders.
In addition, Kraken recently launched kBTC (its wrapped Bitcoin on Ethereum and OP Mainnet) and plans to release Ink, an OP Stack-based Ethereum Layer 2 solution, in early 2025.
