Kraken, one of the world’s most established and secure cryptocurrency platforms, has announced a strategic partnership with Crypto Insights Group (CIG), an intelligence and analytics platform connecting institutional allocators with leading hedge funds and digital asset managers. The collaboration aims to streamline institutional participation in crypto markets through trusted infrastructure, execution, and custody services.

Bridging allocators and top crypto funds
CIG helps institutional investors identify, evaluate, and engage with high-performing funds in the digital asset space. Through the partnership, Kraken will support these allocators and funds with its market-leading liquidity, custodial rigor, and execution services—mirroring the transparency and operational discipline expected in traditional financial markets.

“Institutional allocators are entering the digital asset class with clear expectations: reliable execution, transparency and strong custodial standards,” said Gurpreet Oberoi, Head of Kraken Institutional. “Our partnership with Crypto Insights Group enables Kraken to meet these expectations head on, connecting allocators to top-tier fund managers through an infrastructure they can trust.”

A timely alignment
As institutional interest in digital assets accelerates globally, Kraken’s move comes as allocators define mandates for 2026. Andy Martinez, Founder and CEO of Crypto Insights Group, emphasized the importance of a secure and reliable partner: “This partnership strengthens the foundation for allocators to operate with the same rigor, transparency, and safeguards expected in traditional markets.”

Kraken Institutional leverages over a decade of experience in crypto markets alongside operational practices familiar to traditional finance, offering a full suite of bespoke products. The partnership underscores Kraken’s mission to make institutional crypto engagement seamless, secure, and scalable for allocators and fund managers alike.
