Kraken has selected Chainlink CCIP as its exclusive cross-chain infrastructure for all Kraken Wrapped Assets, starting with kBTC (Kraken Wrapped Bitcoin).​

After a thorough security review, Kraken determined that CCIP meets its strict requirements through:

  • Enterprise-grade security with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications
  • Secure-by-default architecture with 16 independent node operators
  • Native rate limits and institutional-grade infrastructure

The migration enables Kraken to expand Bitcoin's utility across DeFi while maintaining custody security standards.​ No action is required from kBTC customers during the transition from their legacy cross-chain provider.​

This follows a broader industry trend of major protocols migrating to CCIP, including recent adoptions by Solv Protocol ($700M+ in tokenized BTC) and Huma Finance.​
