Hello, I'm a bit concerned about the recent rumors surrounding Kraken. I've heard that the exchange might be shutting down. Could you please confirm if this is true? If so, what are the reasons behind this decision? And what impact will it have on the crypto market and its users? I'm quite invested in this space and would appreciate any insights you could provide. Thank you for your time and attention.
