Kraken Goes Full Regulatory Rampage: Secures MiCA License to Dominate 30 EEA Crypto Markets
Kraken just flipped the compliance switch—hard. The exchange bulldozed into 30 European Economic Area countries overnight, wielding its shiny new MiCA license like a regulatory broadsword.
No more begging for passporting rights or sweating over local regulators. One license to rule them all—at least until the next bureaucratic hurdle emerges.
European crypto traders now get a rare treat: legal clarity. Meanwhile, traditional finance brokers still can't tell a blockchain from a Excel spreadsheet.
This isn't expansion—it's a hostile takeover dressed in regulatory paperwork. And Kraken's holding all the pens.
