Republic Europe has launched a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) on January 26, 2026, offering European retail investors indirect equity in Kraken ahead of the exchange’s U.S. IPO.
This marks a significant opportunity for retail investors to indirectly engage with a leading global cryptocurrency exchange as it moves towards public trading.
Republic Europe Introduces SPV Model for Kraken
Republic Europe has introduced a novel SPV model to allow European retail investors to pool capital for indirect equity in Kraken. This initiative is the first of its kind in Europe.
The initiative aims to democratize access to Kraken’s private equity for retail investors in Europe. This marks a new path as Kraken prepares for its anticipated public offering.
Broadened Access to High-Growth Crypto Investments
Market experts anticipate a shift as Republic Europe’s SPV broadens access to high-growth crypto investments. Investors gain access to a high-value asset within the private market.
Financial communities are observing the development’s potential influence on broader investment strategies and market engagement in the crypto space, increasing retail opportunities.
SPVs Expand from Tech to Crypto Markets
SPVs have traditionally expanded investment access in tech, now applied to crypto markets like Kraken’s, setting a new precedent in the industry.
Experts suggest this move could lead to further adoption of similar SPVs in the crypto sector, aiding companies in capitalizing on retail trends effectively.
Theodora Bishop, Senior Investment Manager, 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.” Business Wire
