Kraken Earns MiCA License in Ireland, Expands Regulated Crypto Services Across EU | Kraken has secured a Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license from the Central Bank of Ireland, allowing it to expand its crypto services across all 30 European Economic Area countries. This license complements its existing e-money and MiFID licenses, enabling Kraken to better serve retail and institutional clients under unified regulatory standards. With this authorization, Kraken can offer fully regulated services such as crypto trading, custody, and payments, emphasizing transparency and consumer protection. The firm has a strong presence in Europe, holding Virtual Asset Service Provider registrations in several countries and plans to enhance its offerings in spot trading, derivatives, and payments. This achievement reflects Kraken's commitment to regulatory compliance and deepening user trust in its European operations, thanks to its collaboration with Irish authorities.
