Kraken parent Payward revenues jump as crypto traders flock in
According to the latest data, the revenues of Payward, the parent company of the major cryptocurrency exchange Kraken, grew by 33% in 2025. This was due to a significant influx of clients interested in trading cryptocurrencies and managing digital assets.
According to Kraken co-founder Arjun Sethi, Payward's revenues were "well balanced" in 2025, with trading and asset-based revenues being almost equal. This indicates that the company has successfully diversified its revenue streams, allowing it to effectively grow its revenues even in the volatile cryptocurrency market.
The growth in Payward's revenues reflects the overall trend in the cryptocurrency market. In recent years, more and more investors, both private and institutional, have become interested in digital assets, which has contributed to an increase in trading volumes on cryptocurrency exchanges. In addition, asset management companies have also been actively expanding their presence in this sector, offering clients various products for investing in cryptocurrencies and other digital assets.
Payward's success in these two key segments - trading and asset management - indicates that the company has been able to effectively adapt to the rapidly changing conditions in the cryptocurrency market. The combination of high trading activity and stable revenues from asset management provides Payward with a solid foundation for further growth and expansion in the digital currency market.
