Kraken Announces Frankencoin (ZCHF) Trading for October 8
Kraken announced an October 8 trading start for Frankencoin, a Swiss franc stablecoin backed by on-chain collateral rather than bank reserves.
Kraken's official listings account announced on October 5, 2026, that Frankencoin (ZCHF) trading is scheduled to start on October 8. The announcement was posted at 22:01:37 Hong Kong time.
Scheduled, not yet live
The post identifies ZCHF as an upcoming listing. It does not give an exact opening hour or specify the timezone for the October 8 start date, so an opening time cannot yet be converted to Hong Kong time.
Trading pairs, supported funding networks, minimum orders and regional availability are also not listed in the post. Confirm these in Kraken's live asset information before sending funds. A preview is not confirmation that trading has already opened.
About Frankencoin and ZCHF
Frankencoin (ZCHF) is a decentralized stablecoin designed to track the Swiss franc. Its project documentation describes on-chain crypto collateral backing, rather than a central issuer holding bank reserves. Borrowers deposit collateral to mint ZCHF.
The protocol uses an overcollateralized debt-position system, with collateral and positions visible on-chain. ZCHF provides a Swiss-franc-denominated asset for on-chain payments and finance. The target exchange rate is not a guarantee: collateral values and market conditions can affect the system and the token's price.
