Odaily News Cryptocurrency exchange Kraken has launched Kraken Desktop, a fully customizable desktop trading application designed for active traders. Inspired by the popular Cryptowatch tool that was discontinued last year, Kraken Desktop aims to provide a more efficient trading experience through proprietary charting and technical analysis tools. Kraken said that Kraken Desktop was officially launched after a successful private beta, providing full access to all spot and futures markets, and adding a variety of new tools to enhance trading functionality and performance. The application is developed using the Rust technology stack, supports low-latency trading, and provides advanced features such as ladder trading and automatic orders. In addition, Kraken recently launched kBTC (its wrapped Bitcoin on Ethereum and OP Mainnet) and plans to launch Ink, an Ethereum Layer 2 solution based on the OP Stack in early 2025. (The Block)
