Here's some light: 1. you have to buy bitcoin with something 2. Alt research & speculation is good for BTC 3. Trading fees on all the non-bitcoin pairs subsidizes the cost of running a secure, compliant, robust bitcoin exchange. A bitcoin-fiat-only exchange would not survive

I agree with Jesse. A pure exchange needs multiple assets due to the nature of the business. River isn't a pure exchange, it's a financial services company with Bitcoin buy/sell as one product. I'm a big fan of Kraken personally. I wrote their Ruby API library years ago!

While we all may disagree on the potential of non-Bitcoin assets, there's no denying that Kraken has done a tremendous amount for Bitcoin adoption over the years. There's a lot we can all keep working together on!!
