Kraken also linked the listing to Telcoin’s stated objective of coordinating mobile networks around shared blockchain rails. The announcement referenced TelcoinTAO, describing it as an effort to align mobile networks around a common blockchain standard aimed at connecting users globally to what the exchange called the “Internet of Money.”
Most recently, CNF reported that Kraken also added VeChain’s VET for spot trading, widening access through a major U.S.-based exchange. The exchange noted that VET funding and trading went live on Jan. 2, 2026, with deposits available via supported networks.
Telcoin Cites Regulated Access and Operator Coordination
Replying to the exchange’s tweet, Telcoin outlined that the Kraken listing would expand access for U.S. users to TEL. Telcoin described the move as supporting a telecommunications blockchain standard and tied the exchange availability to the broader Telcoin Network ecosystem.
Kraken’s focus on regulated infrastructure matches Telcoin Association’s mission to bring mobile network operators together on shared blockchain infrastructure and connect large user bases to services built on the Telcoin Network.
However, as of the time of writing, Kraken did not outline listing details such as supported trading pairs, fees specific to TEL markets, or the order types that will be enabled at launch. Exchanges commonly disclose these specifics close to the start time, alongside information on deposits, withdrawals, and any staged availability by region.
Kraken provided a direct link for users to monitor the rollout, while Telcoin reiterated its goal of operator-led coordination across networks worldwide.
Additionally, we covered that Telcoin became the first U.S. digital asset bank under Nebraska’s charter. The approval allowed Telcoin to issue eUSD, described as a dollar-backed stablecoin, while linking banking services with parts of the DeFi ecosystem.
Reacting to the Kraken listing news, Telcoin (TEL) price rallied over 20% in 24 hours. The action saw TEL token rise to $0.004025 at the time of writing after it started the day at approximately $0.00335.
