Changes to our stablecoin offerings for EEA clients

hero

In our fast-moving regulatory landscape, we continuously assess the impact of regulatory changes, and their consequences for specific products and services we offer.

As one of the oldest crypto exchanges, we hold a leading position for trading volume and liquidity in Europe, where we offer Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) services directly or through partnerships in Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, France and Poland, and are preparing for the implementation of the Europe-wide Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR).

We previously made the difficult decision to change our stablecoin offering for clients in the European Economic Area (EEA). These changes ultimately ensure Kraken remains compliant and is able to provide its exceptional trading experience to European clients for the long term.

The following stablecoins are now delisted in the EEA:

  • PayPal USD (PYUSD)

  • TerraUSD Classic (UST)

  • Tether EURt (EURT)

  • Tether (USDT)

  • TrueUSD (TUSD)

The above assets cannot be traded in the regions outlined below, and can only be deposited* or withdrawn from Kraken.

*Deposits of these assets are not recommended, as you can no longer trade, buy or sell them on Kraken if you reside in the EEA.

This change only impacts clients in the European Economic Area (EEA), see the list below:

  • Austria

  • Belgium

  • Bulgaria

  • Croatia

  • Cyprus

  • Czechia

  • Denmark

  • Estonia

  • Finland

  • France

  • Germany

  • Greece

  • Hungary

  • Iceland

  • Ireland

  • Italy

  • Latvia

  • Liechtenstein

  • Lithuania

  • Luxembourg

  • Malta

  • Netherlands

  • Norway

  • Poland

  • Portugal

  • Romania

  • Slovakia

  • Slovenia

  • Spain

  • Sweden

Kraken remains committed to providing a secure, compliant, and performant platform for our European clients, supporting a broad range of digital assets and ensuring a seamless trading experience. We appreciate your understanding as we navigate this evolving landscape.
