Kraken Adds Solana DEX Trading Inside Its App

Kraken has integrated Solana-based decentralized exchange trading into its core application, enabling customers to access trading on Solana DEXs from within the broker's interface. The company announced the change in a statement but did not provide a public rollout date.

The integration lets users trade tokens native to the Solana blockchain using decentralized exchange protocols without leaving Kraken's app. Kraken described the capability as expanding on-platform access to assets and liquidity that exist outside centralized order books.

The firm said it plans to add support for additional blockchain networks in the future, but it did not provide a timeline or a list of which blockchains will be added next. Kraken also did not specify technical details such as whether DEX trades will route through user-controlled wallets, through Kraken custody, or use hybrid settlement mechanics.

The feature is available through Kraken's core application, though availability may vary by jurisdiction and account type. The company advised customers to check their accounts and the platform for access details.

Solana is a high-throughput blockchain that hosts several decentralized exchanges and liquidity protocols. Its design emphasizes fast block times and low transaction fees, which have supported a range of token projects and on-chain trading venues.

Kraken framed the integration as part of a broader plan to support multiple blockchain networks within its platform and asked users to monitor official channels for further details on additional network rollouts and any regulatory or eligibility constraints that may apply.
