Crypto exchange Kraken is overhauling its mobile app to put AI-driven investing at its core. The redesigned platform will let users set financial goals and have the app shape itself around those objectives.
The new Kraken mobile experience.

Users start by entering their goals, risk tolerance, and financial preferences. The app then builds a suggested portfolio for the user to review before any money moves.
Once invested, the platform provides ongoing updates and trade suggestions based on each user’s holdings. Kraken calls this its “financial intelligence” layer.
Kraken chief data officer Kamo Asatryan told CNBC the goal is to give everyday investors the same market awareness as the exchange’s most active traders.
“There’s an opportunity for everyday people to become high-frequency traders and do so using plain English,” he said.
The AI will monitor markets around the clock and flag opportunities, but it will not place trades on its own. Every recommended trade needs the user’s sign-off before it goes through.
Kraken is positioning this as a decision-support tool, not an automated trading system. The company says investment advice on crypto assets is provided by Payward Interactive, while advice on securities comes from Kraken Adviser, an SEC-registered investment adviser.
A Crowded Field
Kraken is not alone in this push. Several major exchanges have been racing to add AI tools to their platforms.
Gemini was the first major US exchange to open its platform to agentic setups, doing so in April. Coinbase followed in June, unveiling its Coinbase Advisor feature, described as a robo-advisor backed by SEC registration.
OKX launched a beta marketplace in June where AI agents can transact and complete tasks on-chain. Binance has also been adding AI capabilities to its platform.
Coinbase’s Base network crossed 100 million agentic payment transactions last month, according to Chainalysis. Higher-value transfers have become more common, suggesting AI-driven activity is moving beyond small experimental payments.
Revolut Joins the Push
On the same day Kraken announced its relaunch, fintech firm Revolut upgraded its Revolut X exchange. Customers can now connect AI assistants, including Claude, Gemini, Cursor, and OpenClaw, to analyze markets and place trades through plain-language prompts.
Like Kraken, Revolut requires users to approve every trade before execution.
Kraken has been busy across the board. The exchange has recently added crypto perps in the US, Solana trading via its main app, tokenized IPO access, and expanded lending. The company has also been laying groundwork for a potential public listing since last year.
The new app is expected to roll out to users in the coming weeks.
