Quick Breakdown 

  • Kraken has acquired Breakout, a proprietary trading firm that funds traders based on performance.
  • Breakout allows qualified traders to manage up to $200,000 and keep up to 90% of profits.
  • The deal aligns with Kraken’s broader strategy ahead of a potential $15B IPO in 2026.

Kraken is doubling down on advanced trading tools with its latest acquisition of Breakout, a proprietary trading firm that backs skilled crypto traders based on merit rather than capital access. The move, announced on September 4, is set to integrate directly into Kraken Pro.

Breakout’s Merit-Driven Funding Model

Breakout offers traders access to as much as $200,000 in notional capital once they complete a structured evaluation program. To qualify, participants must showcase consistent discipline under real market conditions while adhering to strict drawdown limits.

Traders who succeed retain up to 90% of profits with payouts available on demand. Those who fail to meet risk requirements must requalify, reinforcing Breakout’s emphasis on sustainable performance and accountability.

“Breakout gives us a way to allocate capital based on proof of skill rather than access to capital itself,”

said Kraken co-CEO Arjun Sethi. “In a world that is rapidly shifting from who you know to what you know, we want to build systems that reward demonstrated performance, not pedigree.”

The program is designed for crypto-native strategies, supporting over 50 trading pairs with leverage of up to 5x on Bitcoin and Ethereum contracts.

Strengthening Kraken’s Growth Roadmap

For Breakout, joining Kraken provides the infrastructure and global scale needed to expand its trader-first approach. The acquisition is part of Kraken’s broader push to attract advanced users while preparing for key growth milestones.

In August, Kraken acquired Capitalise.ai to add no-code, natural-language trading automation. The company also secured a Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license, ensuring regulated access across the European Economic Area.

Looking ahead, Kraken is gearing up for a possible initial public offering in early 2026, aiming for a $15 billion valuation after a $500 million funding round.

Building a Fairer Trading Ecosystem

By combining Breakout’s evaluation-driven structure with its own liquidity, security, and global reach, Kraken aims to create a more equitable environment for traders. The integration underscores the company’s mission to build systems where talent and discipline not financial privilege determine success.
