Kraken報告：比特幣可能會在市場波動性恢復之際繼續走高:據官網消息，加密貨幣交易平臺Kraken近日發布了一份關于今年5月份比特幣波動的報告。報告顯示，今年5月，比特幣價格在10周內首次回升至1萬美元以上，并創下10,080美元的月度高點，當月收盤上漲10%，報價9,447美元。本月結束時，比特幣與標普500指數的30天關聯度跌至0.13。與此同時，與黃金的關聯度保持在0.50，這支持了比特幣作為另一種價值儲存手段，以及與這些風險資產不相關的說法。報告稱，由于6月份的波動性通常比5月份更大(平均收益率和中值分別+14%和+18%)，比特幣可能會在市場波動性恢復之際繼續走高。此外5月底，比特幣內存池中的7天平均交易量達到了28個月來的最高水平，鑒于歷史趨勢，即如果轉賬筆數過大，一般預示著接下來會出現價格的劇烈波動，因此未來幾周的波動性可能會加大。[2020/6/9]

動態 | 電子前哨基金會正為Kraken前雇員進行辯護:金色財經報道，國際知名法律援助公益組織電子前哨基金會(EFF)正在為一名前Kraken雇員進行辯護。這名雇員因在美國職場社區Glassdoor上對Kraken進行匿名評價而卷入一場官司。該組織并要求加州馬林縣高等法院撤銷Kraken提出的一項動議，即獲取在Glassdoor上發布該交易所差評的人的身份。2019年5月，Kraken對包括EFF客戶（該前Kraken雇員）在內的10名匿名評論者提起訴訟，稱他們違反了遣散合同并尋求獲得他們的身份信息。Kraken還向前雇員發了郵件，要求他們刪除任何違反遣散協議的評論。EFF的律師Aaron Mackey表示，這起訴訟“騷擾和壓制”了希望公開談論在該公司經歷的Kraken現任和前任雇員。據悉這些匿名評論者已經刪除了他們的評論，盡管他們認為這并沒有違反遣散協議。[2020/2/14]

動態 | 用戶指責Kraken凍結其包含31.2萬美元資金的賬戶:據bitcoinexchangeguide報道，Kraken用戶今天在Reddit上發帖指責該交易所關閉了其包含31.2萬美元資金的賬戶，他被迫在24小時內使用現金購買比特幣。該用戶聲稱其帳戶已經進行了所有級別的驗證，并且沒有進行任何令人討厭的業務。對此，Kraken首席執行官Jesse Powell回復稱：“我認為你知道銀行不再愿意為你處理法定付款的真正原因，以及為什么Kraken必須關閉你的帳戶。建議在無限期凍結之前以加密貨幣的方式提取資金。當然，你不必用你的法幣購買加密貨幣，甚至撤回。如果您在關閉時選擇將其保留在賬戶中，我們無法保證及時退還您的法幣。”[2019/1/31]
