World Cup 2026 knockout rules spark crypto trading frenzy as Kraken becomes FIFA’s official exchange partner

Kraken has become the official exchange partner for FIFA, coinciding with a crypto trading frenzy driven by the World Cup 2026 knockout rules. The expanded tournament format and these crypto partnerships are expected to amplify fan engagement and trading activity. However, this integration of crypto into a mainstream event also introduces significant regulatory challenges, increased market volatility, and a higher risk of scams as the knockout stage becomes a major live trading event.
