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.

If you put $1,000 in Intel at the start of 2025, here’s your return now

The post If you put $1,000 in Intel at the start of 2025, here’s your return now appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) and Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) announced a new partnership on Thursday, September 18, working on several generations of custom data center and computing chips designed to boost performance in hyperscale, enterprise, and consumer applications. As part of the collaboration, Nvidia, the undisputed leader of the semiconductor sector, will also invest $5 billion in Intel by purchasing its common stock at a price of $23.28 per share. Following the news, Intel stock jumped more than 30% in pre-market trading, while Nvidia saw a 3% uptick, a welcome change following weeks of shaky performance and controversies regarding its Chinese sales. Trading at $31.34 at the time of writing, INTC shares are up 54.99% year-to-date (YTD). INTC YTD stock price. Source: Google Accordingly, a $1,000 investment in the tech company at the start of the year would now be worth $1,549.90, giving you a return of $549.90. ‘The next era of computing’ The move follows a wave of fresh backing for the struggling Intel, including a nearly $9 billion U.S. government purchase of a 10% stake just weeks ago and a $2 billion investment from Japan’s SoftBank. As such, the deal has the potential to put Intel back into the game after years of trying to catch up not just with Nvidia but also AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) and Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO). “This historic collaboration tightly couples NVIDIA’s AI and accelerated computing stack with Intel’s CPUs and the vast x86 ecosystem — a fusion of two world-class platforms. Together, we will expand our ecosystems and lay the foundation for the next era of computing,” wrote Nvidia founder and chief executive officer (CEO), Jensen Huang.  However, the U.S. government’s direct involvement suggests that more is at stake than simply propping up Intel, as it likely reflects a broader concern about keeping America competitive…
