Kraken Unveils Bitcoin Vault, Offering Up to 2.5% Yield on BTC
Summary
Kraken has launched a new Bitcoin Vault product, allowing users to earn up to 2.5% yield on their BTC holdings. This expands the company's "Earn" suite, building on its DeFi Earn initiative and aiming to attract Bitcoin holders seeking passive income on a regulated platform. The move follows strong demand for similar products, with Kraken's USDC Vaults already attracting nearly $250 million in deposits. This product enhances Kraken's competitive position by offering a native yield mechanism for Bitcoin, a feature not inherently available for the asset.
