UPDATE: On February 13th, 2019 all clients holding ICN in their accounts automatically had their ICN swapped for ETH at a rate of 0.0018ETH per ICN. This conversion is shown on the "History" page as a "Transfer".
ICONOMI, the company behind the ICN token, moved to a more traditional legal structure that will eliminate ICN in favor of tokenized company shares that will be called “eICN.”
As part of this transition, all ICN holders had to convert their ICN to either eICN or ETH by December 31, 2018.
Since Kraken did not participate in the conversion process, we delisted ICN.
Delisting ICN does not constitute any judgment by Kraken against the suitability of eICN as an investment, or against ICONOMI the company or platform. We are delisting because we are not participating in the conversion process.

On November 1, 2018, ICONOMI has made their investor interface available for converting ICN to eICN:

The conversion deadline was December 31, 2018 (you will likely be able to convert after this time but there may be additional fees).
The rate for converting ICN to eICN shares has not yet been determined, but the value of one eICN share will be set to a value of one Swiss Franc (CHF) and the ICN/eICN conversion rate will be set by determining an ICN/CHF rate.
Conversion to eICN requires that your account on the ICONOMI platform be verified to Tier 2 (and there may be further requirements – it will be similar to opening a bank account).
Residents of the US and Canada were not eligible to convert to eICN (if you reside in the US or Canada and are interested in conversion, contact ICONOMI at [email protected]).
Expired: (3) Convert ICN to ETH (act by November 30 2018)
Withdraw your ICN as soon as possible to a 3rd party wallet of which you control the private keys (no later than the November 30 withdrawal deadline). Iconomi will be sending ETH to the same address you sent them ICN from. If you send ICN directly from Kraken, you will not be able to receive your ETH.

The conversion deadline was December 31, 2018 (you will likely be able to convert after this time but the conversion rate may be lower).
The rate for converting ICN to ETH is 1 ICN = 0.0019 ETH (valid until December 31 2018).
Conversion to ETH does not require that your account on the ICONOMI platform be verified to Tier 2 and there is no restriction against residents of the US or Canada.
Kraken has no plan to support eICN trading and we are not aware of any exchange that has announced support.
If you have any questions about the ICN conversion process, please make use of the information and support provided by ICONOMI.
Kraken support agents will not be able to provide any information beyond what is already stated in this support article (but they can of course help with any questions you have about trading ICN on Kraken).
