Kraken to Delist Monero in European Markets Amid Regulatory Changes
Kraken plans to discontinue trading Monero (XMR) in the European Economic Area (EEA) by the end of October, driven by recent regulatory changes linked to the Markets in Crypto-Assets Act (MiCA).
This decision stems from a review of its tokens to ensure compliance with evolving laws.
The trading and deposit of XMR will cease on October 31 at 3:00 PM UTC, affecting all XMR pairs. Users will have until December 31 to withdraw their holdings.
After that date, any remaining XMR will be converted to Bitcoin (BTC) at market value, with the converted amount returned to users by January 6, 2025.
