- Since 2021, Kraken invested $300,000 in Wyoming, including a university grant.
- The company co-hosted the 2023 Wyoming Blockchain Symposium and sponsored local blockchain events.
Cryptocurrency exchange Kraken has officially relocated its global headquarters to Cheyenne, Wyoming. The decision follows several years of involvement in the state’s digital asset initiatives.
The development follows Kraken’s recent launch of Kraken Prime, a brokerage platform for hedge funds, asset managers, and corporates. It combines trading, custody, and asset financing, aiming to meet the operational standards of traditional finance.
Wyoming has developed a regulatory framework that is considered favorable to the crypto industry. The state has passed over 30 laws related to digital assets. These include formal recognition of cryptocurrencies as property and legal protections for private keys. The state has also launched a fintech sandbox to support early-stage companies.

Senator Lummis Praises Kraken Relocation
Kraken has also participated in several state events. It sponsored the Wyoming Blockchain Stampede and Hackathon, held at the University of Wyoming. In 2023, Kraken co-hosted the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium in Jackson Hole. That event brought together industry professionals, lawmakers, and investors.
The move to Wyoming reflects Kraken’s long-standing interest in the state. The company cited Wyoming’s legal environment and crypto policy as factors in its decision. The company will continue to operate with a remote-first workforce.
Senator Cynthia Lummis, a supporter of cryptocurrency regulation, welcomed the relocation. She described it as a sign of “Wyoming’s position as America’s premier crypto hub.”
