Republic Europe Launches SPV for Kraken IPO Investment

What to Know:
  • Republic Europe launches SPV for Kraken pre-IPO access.
  • Retail investors gain exposure to Kraken’s equity.
  • First retail access to crypto exchange equity via SPV.

Republic Europe launched an SPV in Europe on January 26, 2026, allowing retail investors indirect access to Kraken’s equity ahead of its anticipated U.S. IPO.

This offers European investors a rare chance to participate in pre-IPO equity, potentially democratizing access to high-growth financial opportunities traditionally reserved for institutions.

Republic Europe Opens Retail Path to Kraken’s IPO

Republic Europe has initiated a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) aimed at European retail investors for indirect equity exposure to Kraken. This step precedes Kraken’s anticipated IPO in the United States.

Involved parties include Republic Europe, a CySEC-regulated platform, and Kraken, a leading cryptocurrency exchange. The SPV pools retail capital for Kraken equity via secondary shares or other instruments.

First-of-its-Kind SPV Boosts Retail Investment Access

This initiative opens access to high-growth investment opportunities for retail investors, who previously had limited entry. The SPV is a unique offering in Europe.

Financially, this provides an avenue for wealth creation not directly tied to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum, but to Kraken’s performance as a company.

Setting New Precedents in Crypto Investment Access

The introduction of the SPV marks a first-of-its-kind approach in Europe, diverging from institutional-only investment strategies seen in past technology ventures.

Theodora Bishop, Senior Investment Manager at Republic Europe, stated, “With many companies staying private for longer, the most significant wealth creation opportunities do not enable access for the masses. The launch of the Kraken SPV offers a rare opportunity: enabling the community to take an indirect financial interest in a global leader shaping the future of finance. This marks a defining moment for Republic Europe, and investors, as we bring private-market quality into the public sphere.” This could set a precedent for future retail access to pre-IPO equity, altering the landscape of cryptocurrency exchange investments.

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data

The post EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/CHF weakens for a second straight session as the euro struggles to recover post-Eurozone inflation data. Eurozone core inflation steady at 2.3%, headline CPI eases to 2.0% in August. SNB maintains a flexible policy outlook ahead of its September 25 decision, with no immediate need for easing. The Euro (EUR) trades under pressure against the Swiss Franc (CHF) on Wednesday, with EUR/CHF extending losses for the second straight session as the common currency struggles to gain traction following Eurozone inflation data. At the time of writing, the cross is trading around 0.9320 during the American session. The latest inflation data from Eurostat showed that Eurozone price growth remained broadly stable in August, reinforcing the European Central Bank’s (ECB) cautious stance on monetary policy. The Core Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), which excludes volatile items such as food and energy, rose 2.3% YoY, in line with both forecasts and the previous month’s reading. On a monthly basis, core inflation increased by 0.3%, unchanged from July, highlighting persistent underlying price pressures in the bloc. Meanwhile, headline inflation eased to 2.0% YoY in August, down from 2.1% in July and slightly below expectations. On a monthly basis, prices rose just 0.1%, missing forecasts for a 0.2% increase and decelerating from July’s 0.2% rise. The inflation release follows last week’s ECB policy decision, where the central bank kept all three key interest rates unchanged and signaled that policy is likely at its terminal level. While officials acknowledged progress in bringing inflation down, they reiterated a cautious, data-dependent approach going forward, emphasizing the need to maintain restrictive conditions for an extended period to ensure price stability. On the Swiss side, disinflation appears to be deepening. The Producer and Import Price Index dropped 0.6% in August, marking a sharp 1.8% annual decline. Broader inflation remains…
