Kraken Lists BitLayer (BTR) for Trading, Expanding Its Asset Offerings

Kraken has announced that BitLayer (BTR) is now available for trading on its platform. The trading went live on August 27, 2025, marking a significant addition to Kraken’s asset offerings.

To start trading BTR, users can navigate to the ‘Funding’ section of their Kraken account, select BTR, and proceed with the deposit. It is crucial for users to ensure that deposits are made using networks supported by Kraken, as deposits made through unsupported networks will be lost.

BitLayer (BTR) is a Bitcoin Layer 2 solution that utilizes BitVM rollups. This technology enables Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible smart contracts, enhances scalability, and supports BTCFi applications. The BTR token is integral to the platform, facilitating staking, transaction fees, and governance.

Kraken has noted that trading via the Kraken App and Instant Buy will become available once liquidity conditions are met. This means that a sufficient number of buyers and sellers must be present in the market to ensure efficient order matching. Additionally, geographic restrictions may apply to BTR trading.

Kraken has a policy of not revealing details about future asset listings until shortly before their launch. However, all available tokens can be found on Kraken’s website, and future listings will be announced on their Listings Roadmap and social media profiles. More details about the BTR listing can be found here.
