We’re excited to announce the availability of a bespoke yield solution, marking an important first step as Kraken Institutional expands access to professionally managed strategies within a secure, regulated framework. From today, eligible Kraken Institutional clients can access the Bitwise Custom Yield Strategy, delivered by Bitwise Asset Management as an external strategy manager and executed entirely within our qualified custody, execution and risk framework. Institutional-grade strategy, delivered with governance The Bitwise team – led by Bitwise’s Head of Derivatives, Gordon Grant – is responsible for day-to-day portfolio management, while we provide the underlying infrastructure, governance and ongoing oversight. This initial availability represents an important first step in Kraken Institutional’s longer-term vision to provide clients with access to a broad and evolving range of professionally managed strategies through a single, institutional-grade operational framework. Over time, strategies from specialist external managers, alongside select Kraken-managed offerings, will be made available to institutional clients. Unlocking professional yield access “Kraken is expanding beyond custody and execution to provide clients with access to professionally managed opportunities through a single, trusted venue,” said Head of Kraken Institutional Gurpreet Oberoi. “This offering represents the first of multiple strategies as we build the infrastructure institutions need to access diverse crypto opportunities with confidence.” A platform built to scale Today, many institutional crypto holders earn little to no yield on assets such as Bitcoin. While strategies do exist, access remains fragmented. Kraken Institutional is uniquely positioned to curate and deliver these offerings through its combination of qualified custody, deep and reliable liquidity, superior execution, round-the-clock client support and secure, regulated infrastructure. All strategies made available through Kraken Institutional undergo a structured internal review and approval process and remain subject to ongoing oversight in line with our operating standards. The Bitwise Custom Yield Strategy is the first offering launched under this framework, with additional strategies and fund managers expected to follow. This initial strategy comes with minimal lock-up periods to support flexible liquidity management.
