Kraken currently lives in all 30 European Economic Area (EEA) countries under the Crypto-Assets Regulation (MICA) licensed market. This is an important milestone that provides secure and compliant cryptography to millions of people in Europe.
Today, all EEA clients are directly serviced by Kraken’s MICA-regulated entities approved by the Central Bank of Ireland. This GoLive represents the full activation of MICA licenses, allowing services to be provided throughout the region under a single, unified regulatory framework.
MICA has implemented consistent standards throughout the EU for consumer protection, operational transparency and regulatory oversight. We provide Kraken clients with an additional assurance that the platform they trust operates in accordance with one of the world’s most robust cryptographic regulations.
This is what it means for Kraken clients across the EEA.

This expansion is based on Kraken’s broader regulatory foundation in Europe. While MIFID licenses allow you to provide regulated derivatives to senior traders across the EU market, EMI licenses support FIAT-related services and payments across the region.
Together, these licenses allow Kraken to provide a fully regulated experience with consistency and confidence throughout the EU.
We are excited to serve European clients under MICA and continue to build the safest, innovative and reliable platform in the industry.
