Kraken Partners with Crypto Insights Group for Institutional Access to Digital Asset Funds
Kraken, one of the world’s most established and secure cryptocurrency platforms, has announced a strategic partnership with Crypto Insights Group (CIG), an institutional analytics and intelligence provider that connects allocators with leading hedge funds and digital asset managers.
