Kraken

Kraken is a US-based cryptocurrency exchange founded in 2011 and one of the longest continuously operating venues in the market. It runs a published Proof of Reserves programme that uses Merkle-tree attestation of client balances rather than a public list of wallet addresses. Kraken was also one of the exchanges used to route Mt. Gox creditor distributions from 2024 onward. It is a terminal hub in the transaction graph.

Evidence boundary

What is — and is not — established

All addresses here are analyst attributions from GraphSense TagPacks (the richest_addresses pack and the WalletExplorer-derived pack), not Kraken disclosures - Kraken's Proof of Reserves deliberately attests balances without publishing addresses. Each address is a member of a much larger Kraken cluster, not "the" Kraken wallet. I verified 1AnwDVbwsLBVwRfqN2x9Eo4YEJSPXo2cwG exists on-chain with ~53,617 BTC lifetime inflow. The WalletExplorer-derived tags are heuristic co-spend clustering and are the weaker of the two sources; the richest_addresses tags are also community-contributed. Treat the Kraken cluster as far larger than these six addresses.
