Kraken, a technology platform built on crypto, has announced the acquisition of assets and technology from Capitalise.ai, an Israel-based company specializing in no-code, natural-language trading automation.
Capitalise.ai, founded in 2015, developed a platform that translates everyday text into executable trading strategies. Its proprietary language model and big data infrastructure are capable of processing real-time and historical data across equities, crypto, FX, futures, options, and other asset classes.
A phased rollout of Capitalise.ai’s functionality within Kraken Pro is anticipated to begin later this year. The integration aims to remove barriers for users of all experience levels, enabling them to design, test, and automate complex strategies using simple, everyday language without requiring programming skills. This move will allow Kraken Pro users to automate sophisticated strategies across both digital and traditional asset classes.
Shannon Kurtas, Head of Exchange at Kraken, stated, “This acquisition gives Kraken Pro clients a powerful new way to act on ideas in real time—testing, optimizing, and executing bespoke strategies with unprecedented speed and confidence.” Kurtas added that Capitalise.ai’s technology transforms how individuals interact with financial data, democratizing access to advanced trading tools traditionally reserved for a select few.
Capitalise.ai’s technology has been utilized by various traditional finance brokers and exchanges, demonstrating its effectiveness as an engaging automation tool in both retail and institutional sectors. The co-founders of Capitalise.ai, Amir Shiovich (CEO) and Shahar Rabin (CPO), along with key product and engineering personnel, will join Kraken and continue their work within the Kraken Pro business unit.
Kraken operates as a technology platform focused on leveraging crypto to enhance financial access and reduce inefficiencies in the financial sector. Millions of individuals, professional traders, and institutions globally use Kraken for trading digital and traditional assets, including cryptocurrencies, national currencies, U.
S. futures, and U.
S.-listed stocks and ETFs. Kraken’s markets can be accessed via web, iOS, and Android applications, and its company NinjaTrader also offers futures platforms.
