AB Token Listed on Kraken Boosting U.S. Compliance and Global Reach

AB DAO has officially listed its native token AB on Kraken, a well-established U.S.-compliant cryptocurrency exchange, marking a pivotal step in the token’s global expansion. The listing, announced on August 7, 2025, allows users to deposit AB and place post-only limit orders, which will not be matched until full trading commences on August 8, 2025. At that time, the AB/USD and AB/EUR trading pairs will become active, enabling direct purchases in U.S. dollars and euros [1][2][4]. This strategic move underscores the growing institutional interest in AB and aligns with broader trends in the crypto industry toward regulatory clarity and mainstream adoption.

Kraken, known for its strong compliance framework and robust liquidity, has emerged as a key player in the U.S. crypto market, with ongoing preparations for a Nasdaq listing. The exchange’s reputation for security and compliance makes it an attractive platform for digital assets seeking to expand their reach to both institutional and retail investors. AB’s listing on Kraken signals increasing acceptance of the token within the broader financial ecosystem, potentially enhancing its credibility and visibility [3][5].

According to the official Kraken announcement, users must deposit AB via supported networks to ensure successful transactions. Once credited, traders can place post-only limit orders or wait for the full trading phase on August 8. Additional features, including the Kraken App and Instant Buy, will be activated once liquidity thresholds are met [6][7]. This phased rollout aims to ensure a smooth onboarding process and mitigate potential liquidity challenges, a strategy commonly used in major token listings.

AB DAO has previously listed the token on a range of exchanges, including BINANCE Alpha, Bitget, HTX, MEXC, and others. However, the Kraken listing represents a significant milestone due to the platform’s U.S. regulatory alignment. This move is expected to broaden AB’s accessibility to a more diverse investor base, particularly in North America and Europe, where regulatory compliance is a key factor for many participants [8].

AB, built on a heterogeneous multi-chain architecture, supports cross-chain interoperability and decentralized computing through its AB Connect protocol. The token’s listing on Kraken may further enhance its utility as a cross-chain asset, facilitating seamless value transfer across different blockchain networks [1].

As the crypto industry continues to evolve, the integration of tokens like AB into major compliant exchanges is a clear indicator of the maturing market structure. The AB listing on Kraken not only reflects the token’s growing traction but also demonstrates the increasing importance of regulatory alignment in fostering trust and adoption [9].
