Kraken gains approval under MiCA, enabling operations across 27 EU states as crypto regulation harmonizes in Europe.

What’s the Scoop?

  • License Granted: Kraken received approval from Ireland's central bank under MiCA, which allows it to operate throughout the EU.
  • Following Coinbase: The approval comes shortly after Coinbase received its MiCA license in Luxembourg, intensifying competition in the region.
  • MiCA's Role: MiCA, which came into effect recently, standardizes crypto regulation across EU states, providing a clearer framework for businesses.
