Founded in 2015, Capitalise.ai developed a system that lets users turn everyday text into executable trading strategies.
The company’s technology supports real-time and historical data analysis spanning equities, crypto, FX, futures and options. Its tools have been used by a range of traditional finance brokers and exchanges.
Kraken said it will begin rolling out Capitalise.ai’s features on its Kraken Pro platform later this year. The move is designed to lower the technical barriers to advanced trading, giving users the ability to design, backtest and automate strategies without writing code.
“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, in the release.
Co-founders Amir Shiovich and Shahar Rabin, along with key engineering staff, will join Kraken’s Pro business unit as part of the deal.
