Kraken has introduced a new bespoke yield solution for institutional clients, marking a significant step forward in expanding its institutional investment offerings.

The strategy is managed by Bitwise Asset Management, with Bitwise’s Head of Derivatives, Gordon Grant, overseeing day-to-day portfolio management. While Bitwise handles the investment strategy, Kraken provides the underlying infrastructure, including qualified custody, trade execution, governance, and risk oversight. This structure ensures that institutional clients benefit from professional asset management while maintaining the security and reliability of Kraken’s institutional-grade platform.
This launch represents the beginning of Kraken Institutional’s broader vision to offer a range of professionally managed crypto investment strategies. Over time, the platform plans to introduce additional strategies from external asset managers as well as select Kraken-managed solutions. By bringing these offerings into a single operational framework, Kraken aims to simplify access to institutional-grade crypto investment opportunities while maintaining high standards of security and transparency.

The platform’s regulated infrastructure and continuous oversight help ensure that strategies meet institutional requirements for compliance, risk management, and operational integrity.
The Bitwise Custom Yield Strategy has been designed with flexibility in mind, including minimal lock-up periods that allow institutions to manage liquidity more effectively. All strategies offered through Kraken Institutional undergo a thorough internal review and ongoing monitoring to ensure they meet strict operational and governance standards.
