The post Kraken Launches Commission-Free Stock and ETF Trading in the U.S. appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Kraken, one of the world’s leading crypto exchanges, has started offering commission-free trading for more than 11,000 U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs. The new feature is now live for users in New Jersey, Connecticut, Wyoming, Oklahoma, Idaho, Iowa, Rhode Island, Kentucky, Alabama, and the District of Columbia. These users can now trade stocks and ETFs directly from their Kraken accounts.
All-in-One: Crypto, Stocks, CashWith this update, Kraken users can manage their crypto, stocks, stablecoins, and cash all in one place. Whether using the Kraken mobile app, Kraken Pro, or the web platform, trading is now more convenient than ever.
Kraken also supports fractional trading, which means users can buy a portion of a stock instead of a full share. This makes it easier and more affordable to invest in expensive stocks.
Nate Geraci, President of the ETF Store, shared the news on X, calling attention to Kraken’s growing reach.

The move marks Kraken’s first major push into traditional finance (TradFi), expanding its services beyond crypto. It now allows users to invest in stocks using U.S. dollars, reinvest instantly, and handle both crypto and stock trading from one platform.

It allows users to switch easily between crypto and stocks without needing multiple platforms—making the experience more streamlined and efficient.
“Crypto isn’t just evolving, it’s becoming the backbone for trading across asset classes, such as equities, commodities, and currencies. As demand for 24/7 global access grows, clients want a seamless, all-in-one trading experience,” Arjun Sethi, Kraken’s co-CEO remarked.
Kraken To Plan Global Rollout SoonHe explained that as demand for 24/7 global access grows, people are looking for a simple, all-in-one platform. Expanding into stock trading is a natural next step for Kraken and part of a larger goal: turning real-world assets into blockchain-based tokens.
Sethi believes the future of trading will be borderless, always-on, and powered by crypto technology—and Kraken aims to lead the way.
Kraken plans to expand stock and ETF trading to more regions, including the UK, Europe, and Australia. The company is also working on new features to make the trading experience even better for users.
Everyday Crypto Spending Gets EasierIn another recent move, Kraken teamed up with Mastercard to make it easier for users in the EU to spend their crypto. With this partnership, people can now pay with Bitcoin and other digital assets at over 150 million Mastercard-supported locations worldwide—bringing crypto one step closer to everyday use.
From trading tokens to tapping stocks, Kraken’s making your portfolio that much easier to manage!
