KRAKEN TO INTEGRATE INK TOKEN AND INK NETWORK INTO 'CORE PRODUCT SUITE'

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Kraken will integrate the INK token and Ink Layer 2 into its core product suite for all global clients, including via the Kraken Drops airdrop program. The Ink Foundation designed INK to drive network utility rather than governance control. By embedding Ink-native protocols, Kraken aims to bridge CeFi and DeFi, aligning onchain and off‑chain infrastructure and standardizing value movement across its trading and payment systems. Its first use case for INK will be an Aave liquidity pool on Ink that offers concentrated liquidity as a foundational DeFi building block.
