Cryptocurrency exchange Kraken announced that it has listed the VeChain (VET) token on its platform as of January 2, 2026. According to the announcement, users will be able to buy and sell VeChain via Kraken using the VET/USD and VET/EUR trading pairs.
This step is seen as part of Kraken’s strategy to expand its range of traded assets, while also providing the VeChain ecosystem with the opportunity to reach a wider investor base.
VET is known as the native crypto asset of the VeChainThor network. VeChainThor offers an infrastructure that aims to integrate blockchain technology with real-world applications.
The network, particularly used in supply chain management, sustainability, and enterprise solutions, stands out with its focus on transparency and verifiability. Kraken’s listing decision also reflects the growing interest in projects in this field.
VeBetter, a notable component of the VeChain ecosystem, aims to record measurable and verifiable positive behaviors on the blockchain.
This structure makes actions that provide environmental and social benefits visible, while participants can receive various rewards in return for these contributions. Thus, blockchain technology can be used not only in financial transactions but also in the field of social impact.
Experts point out that new listings on large, regulated exchanges increase the visibility and liquidity of the relevant projects. Kraken’s listing of VET could provide both institutional and individual investors with easier access to the VeChain ecosystem. This development is considered a significant step towards VeChain’s long-term growth goals.
