The cryptocurrency exchange Kraken is introducing a comprehensive redesign of its mobile application, centered around artificial intelligence-powered investment capabilities. The revamped platform enables users to define their financial objectives and receive customized guidance throughout their investment journey.

The process begins when users input their investment goals, comfort level with risk, and other financial parameters. Based on this information, the application generates a personalized portfolio recommendation that users can examine and approve before committing any capital.
After funds are deployed, the system delivers continuous market insights and trading opportunities aligned with each investor’s specific holdings. Kraken refers to this functionality as its “financial intelligence” infrastructure.
According to CNBC, Kraken’s chief data officer Kamo Asatryan explained that the initiative aims to democratize sophisticated market analysis previously available only to professional traders.
“There’s an opportunity for everyday people to become high-frequency traders and do so using plain English,” he said.
The artificial intelligence component operates continuously, scanning markets for potential opportunities and alerting users accordingly. However, the system maintains a crucial safety feature: it cannot execute transactions independently. Users must manually authorize each suggested trade before it proceeds.
Kraken emphasizes that this technology serves as an advisory tool rather than an autonomous trading mechanism. The exchange clarifies that cryptocurrency investment guidance originates from Payward Interactive, while securities-related advice comes through Kraken Adviser, which holds SEC registration as an investment adviser.
Industry-Wide Competition Intensifies
Kraken’s move reflects a broader industry trend, as numerous prominent exchanges accelerate their integration of AI-powered trading solutions.
Gemini pioneered this approach among major American exchanges by opening its infrastructure to agentic systems in April. Coinbase entered the arena in June with its Advisor product, marketed as an SEC-registered robo-advisory service.
OKX introduced a beta testing environment in June enabling AI agents to conduct transactions and execute blockchain-based operations. Binance has similarly expanded its platform with artificial intelligence functionalities.
Data from Chainalysis indicates that Coinbase’s Base network processed over 100 million AI-driven payment transactions last month. The research also reveals a trend toward larger transaction amounts, indicating that AI-facilitated activity is evolving beyond experimental microtransactions.
Revolut Enters the Arena
Coinciding with Kraken’s announcement, financial technology company Revolut enhanced its Revolut X trading platform. The upgrade allows customers to integrate AI assistants such as Claude, Gemini, Cursor, and OpenClaw for market analysis and trade execution using conversational commands.
Mirroring Kraken’s approach, Revolut mandates user confirmation for all transactions before they’re finalized.
Kraken has maintained an aggressive expansion strategy recently. The platform has introduced cryptocurrency perpetual contracts for US customers, integrated Solana trading into its primary application, provided access to tokenized IPO investments, and broadened its lending services. Additionally, the company has been preparing infrastructure for a potential initial public offering since the previous year.
The updated application is scheduled to become available to users within the next several weeks.
