Kraken has been at the forefront of exchanges which have obtained the Ireland MiCA license which puts them in 27 EEA countries’ markets. Issued by the Central Bank of Ireland, this license within the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) structure gives Kraken a competitive edge as the EU puts in place more regulation for crypto.

Kraken has for years had their legal and compliance teams working towards the Ireland Mica license. As reported by co-CEO Arjun Sethi the company’s goal has always been to earn its trust in its platform as well as in the greater crypto industry. With the acquisition of this license Kraken is now able to provide full regulated crypto services which include trading to custody in the EU.

Ireland Mica License Enhances Kraken’s European Strategy

Securing the Ireland Mica license the crowning achievement for Kraken which did not present as their first move into European compliance they already had in hand a MiFID license and an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license in that region. Also they have registrations in many EU countries which include France, Italy and the Netherlands which in turn enables easy expansion and operations.

MiCA at large is a comprehensive regulation which took effect in June 2023 with full enforcement in December 2024. It puts in place categories for crypto assets and requires strict compliance from platforms. Kraken’s early compliance allows it to scale without fear of future disruption.

Ireland’s Crypto Competition Landscape Transformed By Mica Laws

Holding an Ireland MiCA license puts Kraken above exchanges which are still in the dark for regulatory news. Coinbase got their license in Luxembourg, also in 2025 OKX and Crypto.com secured theirs. Ireland has made MiCA’s grace period shorter at 12 months which means firms must be in compliance by December 29, 2025 or else they leave the European market.

Stablecoin issuers including Tether are going without MiCA registration which in turn sees listings of USDT removed from platforms like Binance and Crypto.com. At the same time Kraken is throwing its support behind greater compliance which may in fact appeal to institutional users.

Global Strategy Aligns With Regulatory Momentum

Not to mention Kraken’s announcement came right after the company had shifted its global HQ to Wyoming which at that time was a bit of a crypto haven. With the Ireland Mica license in Europe and a legal victory in the U.S.  after the SEC dropped their suit  Kraken is putting together a future proof, regulatory first approach which in turn is what is setting them apart.
