The European Union’s approval of the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework has prompted exchanges to reassess their strategies to ensure compliance.
Kraken’s Global Head of Regulatory Strategy, Marcus Hughes, emphasized that the exchange is prepared to meet emerging regulatory needs but clarified that there are currently no plans to delist Tether or modify its USDT trading pairs in Europe.
Hughes reiterated Kraken’s commitment to supporting Tether and its related trading pairs, stating that the exchange has no intention of withdrawing Kraken USDT support at this time.

Kraken Expands with New Acquisitions and Headquarters
The exchange’s stance is significant as it impacts investor sentiment and market dynamics within the crypto ecosystem.
Regulatory scrutiny of stablecoins like USDT has intensified, and Kraken’s position provides some stability amidst the uncertainty.
Kraken is also expanding its regulatory footprint by acquiring TradeStation Crypto and finalizing plans for its European headquarters, which are likely to be located in either France or Ireland. This move aims to bolster its regulatory compliance and better serve its European clients.
Kraken’s decision to continue supporting Tether in Europe reflects its strategic approach to navigating regulatory landscapes while maintaining liquidity and service quality for its European users.
