Kraken Exchange Releases Update On Spark (FLR) Airdrop to Eligible XRP Holders

The long-awaited Spark (FLR) airdrop distribution to eligible XRP holders is around the corner, as more crypto exchanges show preparedness and support. However, the Flare team is yet to confirm the date for the airdrop distribution event after the last postponement. 

A recent update showed that Kraken, a popular cryptocurrency exchange based in the United States, is now among the top exchanges that are set to execute the Flare token airdrop. 

According to Kraken, funding is now available on the exchange in preparation for the FLR distribution event. The update added that two trading pairs will be introduced for the FLR token on the Kraken digital assets marketplace, including FLR/USD and FLR/EUR. Customers will then be able to trade FLR/USD, and FLR/EUR. It is also said that the staking of FLR tokens will be activated on the U.S-based exchange subsequently.

  • Trump team files complaint over Harris inheriting $96 million in Biden campaign funds

    According to reports from foreign media, the Trump campaign team has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, claiming that Biden's transfer of $96 million in campaign funds to Harris is illegal. David Warrington, a lawyer for the Trump campaign team, said that this was a "shameless money-grabbing act" and would constitute the largest excessive donation and most serious violation in the history of the Federal Election Law. Shortly after Biden withdrew from the election and appointed Harris as his preferred successor, she took over Biden's campaign committee's bank account. Steve Roberts, a lawyer who represented Republican candidates, said that the argument against the transfer was a "wishful thinking" of his Republican colleagues. The Harris campaign team said that this complaint would not affect its fundraising or spending.
