Kraken Unleashes Zero-Commission Trading for Over 7,000 US Stocks to European Users

Kraken has introduced zero-commission trading for more than 7,000 U.S. equities to users in the European Economic Area. This move makes Kraken the first crypto exchange to offer both conventional stocks and tokenized securities within a single regulated framework.

The service is available on Kraken Pro across desktop and mobile platforms, as well as through the main Kraken application. While trading commissions have been eliminated, certain fees and regional limitations still apply.

Kraken provides access to conventional shares alongside xStocks, blockchain-based representations of U.S. securities with full backing from real underlying equities. Users can access over 700 xStocks and more than 600 digital assets through the same unified account.
