Kraken leadership predicts sovereign bitcoin accumulation as a near-term trend, citing regulatory clarity and institutional interest.
Kraken Co-CEO Dave Ripley stated sovereign nations will likely adopt bitcoin as strategic reserves within 12 months. The prediction follows growing institutional interest and regulatory developments, including the proposed Clarity Act in the U.S.
Ripley highlighted cross-border payments, tokenization, and stablecoin competition as key drivers for crypto adoption. He noted Solana and Ethereum lead in tokenization, while stablecoin interest rates spark banking sector disputes.
