Kraken May Be First CEX to Test Hyperliquid HIP-3: 10 Wallets Whitelisted

The signal here is less about Kraken and more about the direction of travel: a major CEX experimenting with a compliance-oriented DeFi primitive suggests the CEX/DEX divide is being treated as a design problem rather than a boundary. The whitelisting approach matters because it implies gated participation, not open access, which is how regulated venues tend to enter DeFi. Whether other exchanges follow, and whether whitelisting becomes the standard template for such integrations, is the open question worth watching.
