Kraken Launches ACX Spot Trading Amidst AI Market Boom

Cryptocurrency exchange Kraken has launched trading for Across Protocol (ACX) spot markets, according to an official announcement. This move allows users to buy and sell ACX tokens directly, without the need for futures or derivatives contracts. The launch of ACX spot trading on Kraken is a significant development for the Across Protocol ecosystem, as it provides greater liquidity and accessibility for investors.

The Across Protocol is a decentralized cross-chain asset transfer protocol that enables the seamless transfer of assets between different blockchains. By integrating the Farcaster protocol, Kraken has made it easier for users to participate in the ACX spot market. This integration allows users with a Farcaster account to log in and comment on the platform.

The launch of ACX spot trading on Kraken comes amidst a growing interest in the AI market. According to recent reports, the AI market is experiencing a 'DeepSeek Panic,' with Binance predicting that the DeFAI market cap will reach $10 billion by the end of 2025. Meanwhile, OKX has announced that it will list Berachain (BERA) spot trading, further expanding the range of trading options available to investors.

In other news, Gate.io has launched AI3 spot trading, unlocking opportunities in the AI3.0 ecosystem. The new trading feature allows users to stake USDT to generate AI3 Points, facilitating participation in the pre-market trading phase. The AI3 network serves as the crucial infrastructure for AI3.0, focusing on the development of advanced decentralized applications (dApps) and on-chain agents, which are essential for enhancing scalability, storage, computation, and consensus in decentralized finance (DeFi).
