  No, Kraken is not publicly traded. It is a privately owned cryptocurrency exchange. The ownership of Kraken is held by its founders and private investors. Being a privately owned company gives Kraken more flexibility in its operations and decision-making process compared to publicly traded companies. This allows Kraken to focus on providing the best possible services to its users without being influenced by short-term market pressures.
