US-based crypto exchange Kraken said it is preparing to reintroduce its app with AI agents that can identify trading opportunities and execute crypto trades based on user-set goals and risk limits.

The company said the AI will learn users’ preferences during onboarding, draft portfolios for review and approval, and provide market updates, news, and recommendations.

Kraken did not disclose a launch date or say whether the relaunched app would replace or consolidate its existing mobile apps. Kraken Pro will remain available as a standalone app.

The move follows Coinbase, which recently launched two AI investing tools, including an AI adviser and agent-driven trading features.

The push comes as global retail crypto activity fell 11% year on year to US$979 billion in Q1 2026, according to TRM Labs.

US regulators have not issued AI-specific rules for trading recommendations, but said existing obligations still apply.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has highlighted risks including recordkeeping, customer protection, and compliance with Regulation Best Interest, or Reg BI.
