Payward, the parent company of Kraken, is in talks with Wells Fargo to become the bank’s cryptocurrency liquidity provider, according to a report cited by Odaily and attributed to CoinDesk. The proposed arrangement would center on supplying liquidity for digital-asset trading. The report does not disclose further terms of the discussions. It also notes a prior connection between the two sides. Wells Fargo had previously served in an advisory role for Nasdaq’s investment in Payward. That investment was valued at $100 million. No timeline for the new talks or any final agreement was provided in the source material. The development points to a potential business relationship focused on market infrastructure rather than custody or retail trading. Beyond the reported talks and the earlier advisory work tied to Nasdaq’s investment, no additional details were disclosed.
