Wow, that never even occurred to me. It sounds plausible. Kraken began their fundraising push around December last year, several months after those funds were apparently seized.
Kraken will almost certainly raise their fundraising goal based on the way things are looking. If they are trying to plug a hole caused by crypto Capital, they will be able to do so, assuming the hole is only the $10 million they are trying to raise. Bitfinex was able to raise ~100x as much money as kraken is trying to raise.
quick update on this---kraken claims they have not used crypto capital for "many years now" and thus were unaffected by the seizure. i guess the inability to service international USD wires for the past several months is just a coincidence.
Hi there!
Please note, Kraken has not used the services of Crypto Capital for many years now, so we are completely unaffected by anything involving their service.
We are currently working on bringing a new international USD funding service to our platform, hopefully we will have this available for our clients very soon!
