What to know:
- Payward, parent company of crypto exchange Kraken, said adjusted 2025 revenue rose 33% to $2.2 billion.
- The company adopted a multibrand corporate structure to separate its consumer products from infrastructure operations.
- Payward ended the year with $48.5 billion in assets and $2 trillion in total transaction volume, while customer accounts grew by 50% to 5.7 million, driven in part by acquisitions.
Payward, the parent company of crypto exchange Kraken, said 2025 adjusted revenue grew 33% as transaction volume increased by 34% to $2 trillion.
Trading-based revenue accounted for 47% of the $2.2 billion total, the company said in a blog post, with rest coming from non-trading sources such as custody, payments and financing. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Ebitda) rose to 26% to $531 million.

The 15-year-old company, which lodged a confidential draft U.S. IPO filing in November, said its corporate structure separates consumer products from infrastructure operations, likening the strategy to those of tech giants Alphabet (GOOG), Meta (META), and Amazon (AMZN).
“By separating infrastructure from product expression, Payward ensures that innovation does not come at the expense of control, risk discipline, or regulatory integrity,” the firm wrote.
The corporate structure marks a formal move for the company to encompass the multiple platforms Kraken, now the sixth-largest crypto exchange by trading volume, has acquired over the years. These include NinjaTrader, Breakout and Backed Finance.
These acquisitions contributed to a 119% increase in daily average revenue trades (DARTs) for futures products, the company said.
Payward said it ended the year with $48.5 billion in assets on the platform, up 12%. The number of funded customer accounts rose 50% to 5.7 million.
The revenue figure is adjusted for trading costs and and gains or losses on trading activities, the company said.

Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council
The post Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Michael Saylor and a group of crypto executives met in Washington, D.C. yesterday to push for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill (the BITCOIN Act), which would see the U.S. acquire up to 1M $BTC over five years. With Bitcoin being positioned yet again as a cornerstone of national monetary policy, many investors are turning their eyes to projects that lean into this narrative – altcoins, meme coins, and presales that could ride on the same wave. Read on for three of the best crypto projects that seem especially well‐suited to benefit from this macro shift: Bitcoin Hyper, Best Wallet Token, and Remittix. These projects stand out for having a strong use case and high adoption potential, especially given the push for a U.S. Bitcoin reserve. Why the Bitcoin Reserve Bill Matters for Crypto Markets The strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill could mark a turning point for the U.S. approach to digital assets. The proposal would see America build a long-term Bitcoin reserve by acquiring up to one million $BTC over five years. To make this happen, lawmakers are exploring creative funding methods such as revaluing old gold certificates. The plan also leans on confiscated Bitcoin already held by the government, worth an estimated $15–20B. This isn’t just a headline for policy wonks. It signals that Bitcoin is moving from the margins into the core of financial strategy. Industry figures like Michael Saylor, Senator Cynthia Lummis, and Marathon Digital’s Fred Thiel are all backing the bill. They see Bitcoin not just as an investment, but as a hedge against systemic risks. For the wider crypto market, this opens the door for projects tied to Bitcoin and the infrastructure that supports it. 1.
