Kraken launches desktop trading application Kraken Desktop

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, cryptocurrency exchange Kraken has launched Kraken Desktop, a fully customizable desktop trading application designed for active traders. Inspired by the popular Cryptowatch tool that was discontinued last year, Kraken Desktop aims to provide a more efficient trading experience through proprietary charts and technical analysis tools.

Kraken stated that Kraken Desktop officially launched after a successful private beta test, offering full access to all spot and futures markets, along with various new tools to enhance trading functionality and performance. The application is developed using the Rust technology stack, supports low-latency trading, and offers advanced features such as ladder trading and automated orders.

In addition, Kraken recently launched kBTC (its wrapped Bitcoin on Ethereum and OP Mainnet) and plans to introduce the OP Stack-based Ethereum Layer 2 solution Ink in early 2025.
