Kraken, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, has announced plans to list 19 new tokens. The announcement includes a variety of popular memecoins, as well as three additional blockchains.
The news sparked optimism in the crypto industry, with many anticipating a more favorable environment for token listings under the new Trump administration.
What Kraken's new listings will look like
According to the recently published tradable assets roadmap, Kraken will add the Binance Smart Chain, dYdX, and Arweave blockchains to its platform. Each integration will include support for the native tokens of these networks.
Additionally, Kraken plans to list 16 more tokens, mostly memecoins. Some of the additions include FWOG, TRUMP, NEIRO, DOGS, GOAT, PNUT, MOODENG, and COW, among others. It’s worth noting that these tokens belong to blockchains already integrated into the Kraken ecosystem.

However, the exchange clarified that the listing plans are not guaranteed. Funding and trading of these tokens will only begin after an official announcement via the Kraken Pro account on X. The company warned that depositing tokens prematurely could result in losses.
Kraken’s planned token expansion comes at a time when the exchange is facing legal challenges. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has accused Kraken of operating an unregistered securities exchange and offering staking services in violation of federal laws. However, the exchange has been actively defending itself against these allegations.
Despite the regulatory hurdles, crypto industry insiders are optimistic that the new administration will ease restrictions on token listings. Therefore, many believe that US President-elect Donald Trump’s pro-crypto stance could pave the way for a more favorable regulatory environment. Expectations include a clear regulatory framework, the potential establishment of a Bitcoin reserve, and a shift away from the SEC’s rule-by-enforcement approach.
Additionally, major U.S. exchanges are taking advantage of the growing market optimism to expand their token listings. Coinbase recently listed PEPE and FLOKI, capitalizing on the current memecoin trend.
Similarly, Robinhood has expanded its offerings by adding tokens that the SEC has previously described as securities — XRP, Cardano, and Solana. In this way, these moves reflect a broader effort by exchanges to capture market momentum and cater to diverse investor interests.
