Kraken, one of the world's longest-standing, most liquid and secure cryptocurrency platforms, today announced a strategic partnership with Crypto Insights Group (CIG), a leading intelligence and analytics platform connecting institutional allocators with hedge funds and digital asset managers.

CIG provides a suite of solutions that enable allocators to identify, evaluate and communicate with some of the highest-performing funds in the digital asset space today. This partnership will empower allocators and funds to facilitate activity with best-in-class execution, custody and lending services, further underscoring Kraken's commitment to supporting the digital asset hedge fund ecosystem.

"Institutional allocators are entering the digital asset class with clear expectations: reliable execution, transparency and strong custodial standards," said Gurpreet Oberoi, Head of Kraken Institutional. "Our partnership with Crypto Insights Group enables Kraken to meet these expectations head on, connecting allocators to top-tier fund managers through an infrastructure they can trust."

“As institutional interest in digital assets accelerates globally, allocators need confidence that their underlying fund activity is supported by counterparties who operate with the same rigor, transparency, and safeguards expected in traditional markets. This partnership strengthens that foundation.” said Andy Martinez, Founder and CEO of Crypto Insights Group.

Kraken Institutional offers a full suite of bespoke products and services that leverage the exchange's market-leading liquidity and matchless reputation as a secure, reliable counterparty in the digital asset class. Combining more than a decade's worth of experience in crypto markets with the operational rigor expected in traditional finance, Kraken Institutional delivers the trusted infrastructure global allocators require.

Oberoi continued: “With allocators across the risk curve currently defining mandates for 2026, this partnership is a timely move that will support the next wave of institutional adoption. It aligns with Kraken's mission to make institutional crypto engagement seamless and secure.”
