The acquisition aims to enable retail and institutional traders to access automated multi-asset strategies without coding expertise.
It reportedly supports Kraken’s strategy to expand its platform beyond crypto, adding automation tools for stocks, FX, and derivatives.

Kraken has acquired Capitalise.ai, an Israel-based developer
of no-code trading automation tools, as it looks to make advanced strategy
design and execution accessible to a broader range of traders. The deal will
see Capitalise.ai’s technology integrated into Kraken Pro, with a phased
rollout planned later this year.
Kraken Eyes Trade Automation
Founded in 2015, Capitalise.ai created a platform that
converts natural-language instructions into executable trading strategies. The
system draws on both real-time and historical market data across equities,
crypto, FX, futures, and options, allowing users to build, backtest, and
automate trades using everyday text.
Kraken said the integration is aimed at lowering barriers
for retail and professional traders alike. “This acquisition gives Kraken Pro
clients a powerful new way to act on ideas in real time—testing, optimizing,
and executing bespoke strategies with unprecedented speed and confidence,” said
Shannon Kurtas, Head of Exchange at Kraken.
Capitalise.ai’s software has already been deployed by
several traditional finance brokers and exchanges. As part of the deal, Capitalise.ai’s co-founders Amir Shiovich and Shahar
Rabin, along with their product and engineering teams, will join Kraken to
continue development under the Pro business unit.

The acquisition highlights Kraken’s push to expand the scope
of its Pro platform beyond crypto trading. By adding Capitalise.ai’s no-code
technology, users will be able to automate strategies for digital assets, stocks, foreign exchange, and derivatives.
More Collaborations by Capitalise.ai
Capitalise.ai has been expanding its reach with
collaborations with various global firms. The most notable was last year when
the firm entered into a partnership with Microsoft to advance text-based
services in the financial markets.
The collaboration aimed to deliver improved tools for
traders, investors, and financial institutions, with a focus on streamlining
data use, enabling automation, and enhancing interaction with real-time market
information.
As part of the agreement, Microsoft will integrate
Capitalise.ai’s technology into its Microsoft Cloud for Financial Services.
This move is expected to extend the reach of Capitalise.ai’s platform,
leveraging Microsoft’s global footprint and cloud infrastructure to make the
solution accessible to a wider base of users.

Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
At iFX Expo Dubai, Finance Magnates spoke with Razi Salih, CEO at Paytiko, about the evolution of the payments ecosystem and why payment orchestration has shifted from an option to a necessity for brokers, prop firms, and exchanges.
Mr. Salih explains how global expansion, the need for deep localisation, and the sheer number of new payment methods, from instant banking to stablecoins, are driving this critical infrastructure shift.

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
- Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
- The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
- Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
- Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture
- The concept of a "risk-aware CRM"
- Built-in risk management in Altima Prop
