“Not observed” means the radar has no current fact — not that the venue lacks the capability.
Highlighted tickers only. Full catalogs: 82 vs 860 observed asset ids.
Highlighted pairs both venues list: BTC/EUR, BTC/USD, ETH/EUR, ETH/USD, LINK/USD, SOL/USD. Observed pair counts: 178 vs 1,431.
Kraken shows more trading pairs in its public catalog: Bitfinex lists 178 and Kraken lists 1,431 as of 2026-11-11. These are catalog counts of open or restricted markets, not volume, liquidity or a quality score.
Bitfinex shows 82 observed assets and Kraken shows 860 as of 2026-11-11, so Kraken has the wider asset catalog. Both currently show BTC, ETH, SOL, USDT, USDC, XRP, and LINK. Delisted entries are excluded and a count is not a statement about any single token.
Only partly. The radar has no network facts for Bitfinex. The radar has no network facts for Kraken. Their public APIs do not expose per-chain rails without an account, so this means "not collected", not "unsupported".
No. This page places the public catalogs of Bitfinex and Kraken side by side (markets, supported assets, and API coverage). It does not cover fees, security, regulation or which exchange to use, and it does not pick a winner.
