**Payward, Kraken’s parent company, shows no signs of bankruptcy risk amid robust institutional backing and expansion.** Nasdaq Ventures’ recent $100 million investment values Payward at $21 billion and deepens collaboration on tokenized equities and market surveillance technology, with Nasdaq Equity Tokens slated for a Q2 2027 launch. The firm continues pursuing an IPO targeted for no earlier than Q2 2027 after pausing earlier plans due to market conditions, while reporting Q2 2026 adjusted revenue of $508 million, 6.6 million funded accounts, and $40 billion in platform assets. It has also secured a $22 million arbitration win against former auditor Mazars, filed for an OCC national trust company charter, and completed acquisitions such as Magic Labs’ wallet business. These developments, alongside legal recoveries from counterparties, underpin trader consensus that Payward remains financially stable with no imminent insolvency triggers.
