Kraken Lists Portal to Bitcoin (PTB) for Trading

Kraken has announced that Portal to Bitcoin (PTB) is now available for trading on its platform. The trading for PTB went live on September 3, 2025, allowing users to engage with this new asset.

To add PTB to a Kraken account, users should navigate to the Funding section, select PTB, and proceed with the ‘Deposit’ option. It is crucial to ensure that deposits are made using networks supported by Kraken, as deposits made through unsupported networks will be lost.

Understanding Portal to Bitcoin (PTB)

Portal to Bitcoin is a trust-minimized protocol designed to facilitate atomic swaps and cross-chain interoperability of Bitcoin assets. It employs BitScaler, a Notary Chain with Threshold Signature Scheme (TSS), and an Automated Dynamic Market Maker (ADMM) to enable custody-free, low-cost swaps without the need for bridges or wrapped tokens.

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

Future Asset Listings on Kraken

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