Since Kraken CEO Jesse Powell closed its global offices in San Francisco, the exchange has become a remote enterprise.
Kraken was founded in 2011 by developer Jesse Powell. Initially, Kraken's headquarters were registered in San Francisco, CaliforniaSpecifically, the exchange's headquarters were in the center of the Californian city, in the Market Street neighborhood.
However, last month, the company's CEO decided to close these offices, claiming that some of his employees had been attacked, harassed and robbed on their way home.
The Kraken founder posted a lengthy letter complaining about how dangerous it was to work downtown, and the lack of security. In the post, which was shared on Twitter by several political analysts, Powell complained that “San Francisco is not safe"and that crimes "are not reported correctly."
In this way, Kraken joined another company that also closed its headquarters in the “Golden City”, Coinbase:, which in this case has decided to follow in the footsteps of Binance and become a fully remote company.
