VeChain (VET) Listed and Live for Trading on Kraken
Kraken announced that VeChain (VET) is now available for trading and funding on its exchange as of January 2, 2026. Users can deposit VET via Kraken-supported networks (deposits on unsupported networks will be lost) and begin trading once liquidity conditions are met; trading on Kraken App and Instant Buy will be activated when sufficient buyers and sellers enter the market. The listing page highlights VeChain’s purpose — using the VET token on the VeChainThor network to track and reward real-world impact — and reminds users of geographic restrictions and standard risk and tax disclaimers. Kraken reiterated its policy of announcing new listings only shortly before launch and pointed to its Listings Roadmap and social channels for future announcements.

Listing a token on a major exchange like Kraken is generally supportive for that token’s accessibility and potential liquidity, but by itself it is unlikely to trigger a sustained large market move. Short-term effects often include a liquidity-driven volume spike and possible price volatility as traders and liquidity providers enter the market. Kraken’s note that App trading and Instant Buy require liquidity means initial on-chain deposits and order-book activity will determine how quickly broader access appears. In past similar events, listings on established exchanges produced brief price upticks (minutes to days) followed by consolidation; sustained bullish trends typically required broader ecosystem news (partnerships, protocol upgrades) or macro tailwinds. For traders: expect higher intraday volatility and volume in VET immediately after listing; watch order-book depth, spreads, and deposit network inflows. For longer-term impact, adoption and utility updates for VeChain, plus continued exchange support and liquidity, will matter more than the listing itself. Overall market stability is unlikely to be affected beyond the VET market unless multiple large listings or macro events coincide.
