Consistency and the sheer will to evolve are the qualities demonstrated by Kraken Inc at every moment. In 2013, the Kraken only offered BTC, LTC, and euro trades, but now it has not only added USD, CAD, AUD, GBP, CHF, and JPY to its currency support list. But also, it has announced that it will support free withdrawals to U.S. bank accounts.
This exciting news divulges that the withdrawals will be possible through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network.
