Kraken Lists NEO and GAS — Trading Opens May 8!

Kraken is adding NEO and GAS to its platform, with trading set to begin on May 8. The move brings two of the longer-standing smart contract ecosystem tokens to one of the largest regulated exchanges in the US market.

Neo operates as an open-source blockchain platform built around digital assets, digital identity, and smart contracts. Its dual-token model separates governance from utility: NEO holders participate in network decision-making, while GAS is spent on transaction fees and smart contract execution — a design that predates similar models now common across the broader ecosystem.

A Kraken listing typically expands liquidity access for retail and institutional buyers alike, and the timing ahead of a broader altcoin season narrative gives both tokens a visibility boost.
