U.S. stocks and ETFs are now live on Kraken Desktop, giving you access to 11,000+ U.S. equities, commission-free,* right alongside your crypto positions. No switching platforms. No fragmented workflows. Everything in one place.
Your one-stop, integrated trading environment
Kraken Desktop was built for active traders who demand structure, clarity, and control. With today’s launch, Desktop becomes a true multi-asset trading environment, one where you can trade Bitcoin and Apple in the same workspace, manage your full portfolio from a single account, and bring the same precision you apply to crypto to your equity positions.
This isn’t a new product or a separate account to sign up for. U.S. equities are available directly within your existing Kraken Desktop setup, fully integrated into the same environment you already use to trade crypto.
What’s now available on Desktop
Commission-free* U.S. stocks and ETFs
Trade 11,000+ U.S. stocks and ETFs without paying commissions. Whether you’re trading large-cap names or exploring sector ETFs, the full breadth of U.S. equities is now accessible without leaving Desktop.
Fractional shares
Precise position sizing matters, especially when managing a multi-asset portfolio. Fractional shares let you allocate exactly what you want to any position, regardless of share price, so you’re never forced into oversized exposure just to enter a trade.
Unified portfolio view
See your crypto and equity holdings together in a single, consolidated view. No toggling between apps or manually reconciling positions across platforms. Your full picture of digital and traditional assets is visible in one place.
Advanced trading tools for equities
The tools that make Desktop a preferred environment for crypto traders are now available for equities too. That means advanced charting, ladder trading, and a full suite of order types to help you enter and manage equity positions with the same level of control you’re used to.
Customizable multi-screen layouts
Desktop’s multi-screen workspace extends to equities. Build layouts that work for how you trade, whether that means monitoring equity and crypto charts side by side, or dedicating screens to different asset classes within a single session.
One account. Every asset.
Managing assets across multiple platforms isn’t just inconvenient, it creates friction at exactly the wrong moments. Kraken Desktop eliminates that.
Whether you’re rotating between sectors, hedging exposure across market cycles, or simply want crypto and traditional assets visible side by side, you can now do it all from a single, unified workspace backed by Kraken’s trusted, compliance-first infrastructure.
Crypto and equities often respond to different market drivers, including earnings cycles, sector performance, and macro trends. Having both available in Desktop gives you more ways to position and a clearer view of your overall strategy. You can trade Bitcoin and U.S. stocks like Nvidia or Alphabet side by side, with the full depth of Desktop’s tools available for both.
