Briefings

Kraken's June 2026 snapshot reveals a critical distinction between customer-balance inclusion and wallet control, neither of which ensures solvency or withdrawal access. The snapshot is a static point in time, limiting analysis to that specific moment without accounting for subsequent operational changes or external shocks.

Key points

• Kraken's snapshot separates customer-balance inclusion from wallet control, meaning a customer may have funds in the system but lack direct access to withdraw them.
• The snapshot is a static point in time, limiting analysis to that specific moment without accounting for subsequent operational changes or external shocks.

Context

This snapshot is a static point in time, limiting analysis to that specific moment without accounting for subsequent operational changes or external shocks. It is a snapshot of a single moment in time, not a continuous record of the bank's health.

Limitations

The snapshot is a static point in time, limiting analysis to that specific moment without accounting for subsequent operational changes or external shocks. It does not reflect the bank's health over time or its ability to handle future stress tests.
