Kraken has officially launched its Crypto-Assets Regulation license market across all 30 countries in the European Economic Area. This license allows Kraken to provide cryptographic services to millions of European customers within a controlled regulatory framework.
Other crypto exchanges such as Coinbase and Bybit also secure MICA licenses, allowing them to work through the EEA under the new rules. crypto.com receives a Principle MicroMICA License and indicates preliminary approvals for final confirmation.
Kraken’s mica regulatory entity is approved by the Central Bank of Ireland. We currently provide direct services to all EEA clients. Activating this license will complete Kraken’s regulatory compliance under MICA. This sets consistent rules for EU crypto asset service providers.
Services available to EEA clients
This framework allows Kraken EEA clients to access regulatory services that are passported across member countries. The platform currently supports over 450 digital assets, with plans to add more. Users also benefit from simplified onboarding and support for local payment methods. Kraken offers facility-grade trading services, including commercial options.
