Promote with Leviathan NewsKraken says eligible customers in the EEA and many global markets can register non-binding interest in Bending Spoons' Nasdaq IPO, bringing pre-listing access to the company behind WeTransfer, Evernote, Vimeo, AOL and Eventbrite. Allocated users receive BSPx on listing day, a 1:1-backed tokenized equity representation that trades 24/5 on Kraken, xStocks Alliance platforms and compatible DeFi venues. This is useful IPO access, but it is still price exposure rather than direct ownership; allocation can be full, partial or zero, and US, UK, Canadian and Australian users are out.
