Kraken has acquired the assets and technology of Israel-based startup Capitalise.ai, the company announced in a blog post on August 20.
The deal encompasses the startup’s natural-language trading platform. Kraken did not disclose the price. The plan is to integrate the system into Kraken Pro later this year, allowing customers to build and run strategies without writing code.
What the tech does?
Capitalise.ai was founded in 2015, and it turns plain text into trading rules. Its platform uses a custom language model and a big data setup.
That lets it read real-time and past data for stocks, crypto, forex, futures and options. In short, traders can type commands in everyday words and get executable strategies back.
Kraken says advanced features on Pro can be hard to use, and the new tool should let more users test and run complex strategies. Traders will be able to automate moves across both digital and traditional assets.

Kraken hopes this will lower the skill barrier and speed up decision-making for clients with different levels of experience.
How the rollout will work?
Kraken plans a phased rollout of the functionality inside Kraken Pro. The company said the integration will begin later this year, and users can expect the new features to appear in stages rather than all at once.
Kraken has also hired key Capitalise.ai staff, as the startup’s co-founders, Amir Shiovich and Shahar Rabin, along with product and engineering team members, will join Kraken’s Pro business unit.
Proven use in other places
Capitalise.ai’s tools have already been used by several traditional brokers and exchanges. Kraken noted that the platform has seen good engagement from both retail and institutional traders. The startup’s track record in other markets helped make the case for the acquisition.
Shannon Kurtas, head of Kraken Exchange, said the buy will give Pro clients a faster way to try ideas, test them, and execute with more confidence. Kraken emphasised that the tool will let users refine strategies in real time and act on them quickly.
Local effects, features and revenue
The platform is built to be flexible, and it can work across many asset classes and handle both live feeds and historical data. Kraken says the tool will help users design, backtest, and run strategies without coding. That should appeal to people who want more control but do not have programming skills.
UnoCrypto reported that Kraken recently reported revenue of $411.6 million for the second quarter, and that was a rise of 18% from the same quarter last year. The firm said the gain came from steady execution and growth in markets around the world.
Users should look for announcements from Kraken on timing and feature details. The phased rollout means features may appear at different times for different regions or account types. Kraken will likely share guides and examples to help users get started once the first wave is live.
