What to know:

  • Payward, parent company of crypto exchange Kraken, said adjusted 2025 revenue rose 33% to $2.2 billion.
  • The company adopted a multibrand corporate structure to separate its consumer products from infrastructure operations.
  • Payward ended the year with $48.5 billion in assets and $2 trillion in total transaction volume, while customer accounts grew by 50% to 5.7 million, driven in part by acquisitions.

Payward, the parent company of crypto exchange Kraken, said 2025 adjusted revenue grew 33% as transaction volume increased by 34% to $2 trillion.

Trading-based revenue accounted for 47% of the $2.2 billion total, the company said in a blog post, with rest coming from non-trading sources such as custody, payments and financing. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Ebitda) rose to 26% to $531 million.

The 15-year-old company, which lodged a confidential draft U.S. IPO filing in November, said its corporate structure separates consumer products from infrastructure operations, likening the strategy to those of tech giants Alphabet (GOOG), Meta (META), and Amazon (AMZN).

“By separating infrastructure from product expression, Payward ensures that innovation does not come at the expense of control, risk discipline, or regulatory integrity,” the firm wrote.

The corporate structure marks a formal move for the company to encompass the multiple platforms Kraken, now the sixth-largest crypto exchange by trading volume, has acquired over the years. These include NinjaTrader, Breakout and Backed Finance.

These acquisitions contributed to a 119% increase in daily average revenue trades (DARTs) for futures products, the company said.

Payward said it ended the year with $48.5 billion in assets on the platform, up 12%. The number of funded customer accounts rose 50% to 5.7 million.

The revenue figure is adjusted for trading costs and and gains or losses on trading activities, the company said.

BitGo wins BaFIN nod to offer regulated crypto trading in Europe

                                                                               BitGo’s move creates further competition in a burgeoning European crypto market that is expected to generate $26 billion revenue this year, according to one estimate.                     BitGo, a digital asset infrastructure company with more than $100 billion in assets under custody, has received an extension of its license from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), enabling it to offer crypto services to European investors. The company said its local subsidiary, BitGo Europe, can now provide custody, staking, transfer, and trading services. Institutional clients will also have access to an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk and multiple liquidity venues.The extension builds on BitGo’s previous Markets-in-Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license, also issued by BaFIN, and adds trading to the existing custody, transfer and staking services. BitGo acquired its initial MiCA license in May 2025, which allowed it to offer certain services to traditional institutions and crypto native companies in the European Union.Read more
