2 prediction markets price this story:

  • Will Kraken be first to list tokenized stocks in the US? — the market puts it at 23%, with $168 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2028. The market resolves to Yes if Kraken allows U.S. customers to buy at least one tokenized stock before any other listed platform does. This availability must occur between September 17, 2026, and December 31, 2027, at 11:59 PM ET. Readers often mistake public announcements or invite-only programs for actual availability, but only confirmed purchases by U.S. customers count.
  • Citigroup — the market puts it at 11%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Citigroup acts as a lead underwriter for Kraken's US initial public offering before January 1, 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake any partnership or investment activity for the specific role of lead underwriter.
