Recently, the cryptocurrency exchange Kraken announced the completion of its acquisition of token management platform Magna. Although the financial terms were not disclosed, this deal marks Kraken’s sixth acquisition in the past year.

While Kraken has not yet revealed its IPO timeline, industry analysts believe the company is actively positioning itself for the public market by integrating resources and improving operational efficiency.
