Kraken Unveils Expanded US Stock Trading Across European Markets
Crypto exchange Kraken has expanded its US stock trading service to the European Economic Area (EEA), allowing customers across several markets to access over 7,000 US-listed stocks alongside more than 600 crypto assets and xStocks.
The rollout builds on Kraken's earlier stock-trading launch in Germany, France, and the Netherlands. Eligible EEA customers can now access this service through Kraken Pro on desktop and mobile, as well as the standard Kraken app.
Kraken emphasizes that its xStocks products are backed 1:1 by underlying shares and can be moved into self-custody wallets and used on-chain. The exchange claims that its xStocks have generated more than $38 billion in transaction volume since launching in June of last year.
