Crypto exchange Kraken has announced that it will share data on tens of thousands of its users with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in compliance with a court order. The company will share information regarding cryptocurrency transactions above $20,000 made by Kraken customers between 2016 and 2020. The exchange is framing the matter as a victory for privacy advocates, as it fought the summons, which sought intrusive and unnecessary information about U.S. clients. Kraken plans to share the user information in early November.

On October 27th, cryptocurrency exchange Kraken plans to share specific user information with the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in November after receiving a court order in June, as reported by The Block. The dispute between the IRS and Kraken began in May 2021 when a federal court authorized the tax agency to issue a John Doe subpoena to the cryptocurrency exchange and its subsidiaries to catch tax evaders. The IRS claimed at the time that Kraken did not comply with the subpoena. In February of this year, the tax agency submitted a court document seeking approval to enforce the subpoena, and in June, a federal court ordered Kraken to provide user information to the IRS.

&nbsp;According to Kraken, the largest marketing campaign to date has been launched in the United States and the United Kingdom, focusing on the transformative aspects of cryptocurrency rather than the get-rich-quick information of the last bull market. The company's new campaign also takes an explicit educational approach, hoping to make people more comfortable with cryptocurrency. Kraken pointed out in a blog post that "51% of people... have not bought any bitcoin because they do not know enough about it." Although Kraken has advertised in the past, including a Formula One partnership, Kraken's Chief Marketing Officer Mayur Gupta said the exchange has never executed such a large-scale direct-to-consumer marketing strategy. Gupta said the campaign will initially launch in the United States and the United Kingdom and is planned to expand globally next year. <br>
