Will Kraken’s valuation hit (HIGH) $25B by December 31? Predictions

Kraken is a long shot, with 11% of the market pricing a path to a $25B valuation by year-end 2026. The contract has slipped down 20 points, a signal that near-term momentum has cooled. $9k in weekly volume suggests limited conviction either way.
The bar is high: Kraken would need to roughly double its last known private valuation to clear $25B. That’s possible in a bull market for crypto exchanges—custody, trading volume, and regulatory clarity all matter—but the resolution hinges on a single data point: Nasdaq Private Market’s NPM Price, which publishes daily for trading days only. A single published valuation at or above $25B anytime through 2026 settles this to Yes.
Watch for Kraken fundraising announcements, crypto market strength, and competitive positioning among exchanges. The 89% price reflects the difficulty of hitting a specific milestone two years out on sparse data releases. Prices here are snapshots of live uncertainty, not predictions.
