Kraken has already raised $6.8 million beating the minimum investment goal of $6.2 million within a day of listing. 326 investors have participated in the fundraising until now as the company is aiming to raise $10.2 million.
Kraken lists 24 digital currencies and offers 74 trading pairs, which makes it one of the longest-serving crypto exchanges. Despite the crypto bear market of 2018, the company still managed to handle $85 billion worth of crypto trades in 2018.

On the other hand, Bitfinex recently raised $1 billion by distributing native tokens in a private sale.
