As crypto adoption accelerates, financial infrastructure providers are racing to enable access to digital assets, while avoiding the complexity of building in-house trading infrastructure.
Kraken Embed solves this by delivering a Crypto-as-a-Service (CaaS) solution that allows banks, fintechs and financial platforms to integrate regulated crypto trading through a single, compliant and scalable API.
Kraken and Alpaca have partnered to expand crypto trading access through a single integration. Alpaca — a leading U.S.-based brokerage infrastructure platform with more than 200 enterprise partners and over five million end user accounts — has integrated Kraken Embed to enhance Alpaca’s existing crypto capabilities across 49 U.S. states (with plans to expand into Canada, the EU and the U.K.).
Enabling scalable crypto access for fintech infrastructure platforms
Alpaca provides modern investing infrastructure for fintechs, trading apps and financial services platforms. As demand for crypto grows across its ecosystem, Alpaca prioritized a solution that could scale with its partners, maintain regulatory standards, and reduce operational complexity.
By integrating Kraken Embed, Alpaca expanded its crypto infrastructure with a fully managed backend into its Broker API. This enables Alpaca’s B2B clients to seamlessly integrate crypto access into their own products, using the existing Alpaca infrastructure they already rely on.
Purpose-built for financial infrastructure platforms and SaaS providers
Kraken Embed supports a wide range of fintech use cases, including for platforms like Alpaca that serve hundreds of downstream clients. This model allows SaaS infrastructure providers to expand their offering to include crypto without needing separate integrations. Kraken Embed’s low-latency API ensures Alpaca and its clients can scale crypto access with minimal friction.
