Cryptocurrency exchange Kraken announced on Wednesday it has acquired Interchange, an accounting, reconciliation and reporting service provider for cryptocurrency hedge funds, asset managers and fund administrators. Kracken claims the acquisition creates the “world’s first” end-to-end crypto trading and reconciliation platform.
“Interchange offers professional-grade accounting and portfolio reconciliation tools designed specifically for the nuances and complexities of digital asset markets. Founded to improve access to crypto markets, Interchange enables institutional investors to better monitor and report their cryptocurrency holdings.

While sharing more details about the acquisition, Jesse Powell, Kraken CEO, stated:
“I couldn’t be more excited to welcome Dan, Clark and the Interchange team to Kraken. What’s great about Interchange is that it makes accounting, trade reconciliation and reporting so much easier for institutions and individuals trading on Kraken, so our clients can stay focused on tapping the tremendous value that cryptocurrency markets offer.”
