LUGANO, Switzerland, Jan. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Telcoin Association announced today that its TEL token is now listed on Kraken, one of the world’s largest and most established cryptocurrency exchanges. With over 13 million registered users across 190+ countries, Kraken provides TEL with immediate access to a global trading community on regulated infrastructure spanning the United States, Europe, and major markets worldwide.
The listing connects two platforms building regulated bridges between traditional finance and blockchain. Kraken was the first cryptocurrency exchange to receive a U.S. bank charter and holds licenses under FinCEN, the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority, and European regulators through MiCA. In parallel with the Telcoin Association’s work uniting telecoms around blockchain, Telcoin Digital Asset Bank, a subsidiary of Telcoin, received the first Digital Asset Depository Institution charter in U.S. history in November and issued eUSD, the first bank-issued stablecoin, in December.
Users can now buy, sell, and hold TEL directly on Kraken. Deposits and withdrawals are enabled on Polygon Network, with trading live against USD and EUR.
“Kraken has spent over a decade proving that regulated exchanges can operate at global scale,” said Parker Spann, Founder of Telcoin Association. “Telcoin Network is proving that mobile operators can run blockchain as a network service, unifying telecoms and their subscribers around shared infrastructure. This listing gives Kraken’s traders access to the Internet of Money, and gives our community access to one of the most trusted platforms in the industry.”
The listing arrives as Telcoin Network prepares for mainnet launch in 2026, with mobile network operators activating as validators across multiple continents. This expanded exchange access builds liquidity and community reach in advance of full network deployment, positioning TEL holders to participate as the network transitions from development to live operations.
