The main reason behind this closure of the headquarters is still not confirmed much clearly but surely some formal informal has been added for the same, which are criminal activities.
“We shut down Kraken’s global headquarters on Market Street in San Francisco after numerous employees were attacked, harassed, and robbed on their way to and from the office.”
This is not the first exchange, which decided to close its exchange headquarter in San Francisco but earlier this US-based public crypto exchange Coinbase also decided to shut down its headquarters in San Francisco by this year. However, Coinbase didn’t mention the reason publicly but the Latest reports are claiming that the reasons may be the same for Coinbase also.
On this tweet of Kraken’s headquarter Departure from San Francisco, the crypto community responded quality. A person, who worked there, shared his experience about that place, which can be seen in the tweet below.
According to available Google reports, in the present time, many people are homeless because of the high price of homes and rents of rooms, so criminal activities in such needy situations by homeless people are common. Maybe this can be a fact but may not be a reality for every homeless person.
