Kraken Brings US Stocks to Europe, Blurs Crypto-Finance Lines

Kraken has expanded its European operations by launching trading in over 7,000 U.S.-listed stocks for eligible customers. This move positions Kraken as the only crypto-native platform offering traditional shares and tokenized equities in one account.

The rollout allows eligible EEA customers to trade U.S. equities directly through Kraken Pro (desktop and mobile) and the main Kraken app, with commission-free trading. However, spreads, foreign exchange costs, and other fees may apply.

Mark Greenberg, Chief Commercial Officer of Payward, said, 'With U.S.-listed stocks and xStocks available side-by-side in a single regulated account, customers can choose how they access the same underlying exposure.'
