Kraken CEO Jesse Powell said that the stock exchange is running on a system that will determine the liquidation cost of the NFTs:

“If you want to deposit CrüptoPunk on Kraken, we need to develop a current value reflection in your account. And if it is necessary, issue the means for the deposit. "

"The first stage is speculation, the second stage is the purchase of art and support for artists, the third stage is the functional use of NFT sound."
