Cryptocurrency exchange Kraken looks for new EU licenses, Malta, Ireland and Luxembourg may be preferred

According to news from Decrypt on August 25, Kraken, the second largest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States, is negotiating with regulators in several European countries, seeking to obtain a license to enter the European market by the end of 2021. As a Kraken spokesperson explained, the exchange has officially entered Europe, however, it currently provides access to its European customers through an entity registered with the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Although Kraken claims to meet the applicable requirements of the EU’s Fifth Anti-Money Laundering Directive (5AMLD), the UK’s departure from the EU means that the cryptocurrency exchange has to start looking for new options to re-enter the European continent. Kraken’s founder and CEO Jesse Powell said in an interview with German business publication Handelsblatt that he is working hard to obtain a license from EU countries. Hope to enter Europe before the end of this year, Malta, Luxembourg and the Republic of Ireland are the first choices for possible licenses. In addition, whether it will obtain BaFin (German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority) cryptocurrency custody and trading license by opening a German branch like Coinbase, so as to provide services to customers in other European countries. Powell emphasized that Kraken was unwilling to follow the same path.
