Kraken announces plans to enable worldwide fiat funding options

Kraken announced a wire service through Etana Custody that will allow users to transact in U.S. dollars, euros, Canadian dollars, British pounds, and Japanese yen from anywhere in the world. The new feature is available immediately to Kraken’s Intermediate and Pro clients, across nearly 180 countries, but it requires users to create an Etana Custody Wallet. Also, users’ bank accounts will be linked to this wallet, which will be filled through wires that could take several business days to process, according to a company blog post.
