The age of Smart Money isn’t coming. It’s already here, and Concordium is helping expand its global reach.
On July 22, 2025, Concordium announced the listing of its native token CCD on Kraken, one of the world’s leading regulated cryptocurrency exchanges. With this listing, CCD is now accessible in 150+ countries, including pivotal markets like the United States and the United Kingdom.
Translation? Stablecoin issuers, financial institutions, builders, and users around the globe just got a direct line into compliance-ready blockchain infrastructure, designed not only for digital assets but also for practical, real-world payment use cases.
For Concordium, it’s a strategic step in making its infrastructure globally accessible to the PayFi innovators and the finance industry in a fast-evolving digital asset landscape.
CCD on Kraken: A Closer Look at the Token Powering Concordium’s Infrastructure
CCD isn’t your average Layer-1 token. It’s the backbone of a chain that stands out in a crowded space for one reason: it was built from the ground up with privacy and regulation in mind, not added on as an afterthought.
CCD fuels transactions, secures the network through staking, and allows participation in governance. It also underpins Protocol-Level Tokens (PLTs), a native asset standard design for secure and scalable stablecoin issuance, and enabling Smart Money without the vulnerabilities of smart contract logic.
While many projects focused on rapid growth and experimentation, Concordium quietly built the rails for what’s next: privacy-first, compliance-ready, and powered by zero-knowledge proofs.
This listing is more than a milestone. It’s an opportunity to engage in a growing ecosystem as:
- Stablecoin issuers.
- Fintech builders.
- Institutions ready to launch next-gen payment apps.
- Developers are tired of bending their ideas to fit outdated rails.
This marks an important access point for developers, institutions, and builders who are exploring scalable, regulated infrastructure for digital payments.
Why Now?
“We are seeing an inflection point for stablecoins globally,” says Boris Bohrer-Bilowitzki, CEO of Concordium. “Between growing institutional demand and increasing regulatory clarity, stablecoins are emerging as practical financial instruments.
But for mainstream adoption to take hold, scalable infrastructure must exist, especially for applications involving identity verification, KYC/AML procedures, and seamless payment integration.”
With existing issuers like Eurodollar and Aryze already building on Concordium, and more in the pipeline, the ecosystem is gaining serious traction.
CCD serves as the token within the Concordium ecosystem that enables use cases where regulated stablecoins can operate within compliant infrastructure through secure network functionalities, whether it’s cross-border payments, merchant transactions, on-chain treasuries, or machine-native disbursements. CCD is enabling Smart Money.
Unlocking Privacy-Ready, Regulation-Aware Blockchain Infrastructure
By listing CCD, Kraken isn’t just adding another token. It’s unlocking a new layer of blockchain infrastructure for the world.
- A science-backed Layer-1
- A protocol-level ID layer with zero-knowledge proofs
- Blockchain that supports compliance-ready use cases
- A developer-friendly foundation for building PayFi at scale
Kraken’s listing of CCD enables broader access to Concordium’s blockchain infrastructure, subject to applicable local regulations.
The Next Chapter of PayFi Starts Now
This listing follows the public release of beta Protocol-Level Tokens on Concordium Devnet and a roadmap laser-focused on the future of programmable finance. With tools for programmable disbursements and real-time rules-based payment flows, Concordium is contributing to the evolving foundation of regulated, scalable digital finance.
For builders tired of duct-taping compliance features onto anonymous chains.
For institutions that need rails that are compliance-ready.
For founders who believe finance should be programmable, not fragile.
This is the call to build.
CCD is now listed on Kraken. As Concordium continues to expand its compliance-ready digital finance ecosystem, developers and institutions are invited to explore the possibilities of Smart Money built responsibly.
Let’s enable Smart Money together.
