Investing.com-- Kraken is seeking to raise $500 million in a funding round valuing the crypto exchange at $15 billion, The Information reported on Tuesday, citing people with knowledge of the matter.

The capital raise comes as Kraken benefits from improving sentiment towards cryptocurrencies, after Bitcoin hit a series of record highs through July. 

Crypto markets have benefited greatly from a slew of positive regulatory decisions under the Donald Trump administration, which recently passed pro-crypto regulation while also dropping legal proceedings against several crypto firms. 

The Securities and Exchange Commission had earlier this year agreed to drop a long-running lawsuit against Kraken that had accused the exchange of operating illegally.
