Kraken Brings Regulated US Stocks Trading to European Investors

Kraken has launched US-listed stock trading across the European Economic Area (EEA), making it possible for eligible customers to access over 7,000 regulated US equities and trade them alongside cryptocurrencies.

The service is provided by Kraken's European entity, Payward Europe Digital Solutions (CY) Limited, which has been authorized as a MiFID investment firm. This allows customers to trade US-listed stocks commission-free* within a regulated framework.

xStocks, tokenized versions of US equities backed 1:1 by underlying shares, are also available for trading alongside traditional shares and cryptocurrencies. Since their launch, xStocks have surpassed $38 billion in total transaction volume, becoming the gold standard for tokenized equities.
