Kraken Adds U.S.-Listed Stocks for EEA Users Alongside Tokenized xStocks in One Account

Kraken on Aug. 18 announced that customers in the European Economic Area (EEA) can now access trading in U.S.-listed stocks through its platform, expanding beyond its core cryptocurrency offering. The exchange described the rollout as a way for users to trade traditional shares alongside tokenized xStocks in the same account. Other reports similarly said EEA-based customers can trade U.S. equities alongside digital assets via Kraken ^{[1] [2]}.

Kraken’s expansion includes more than 7,000 U.S.-listed stocks for eligible customers, which it will place alongside 700+ tokenized xStocks and 600+ crypto assets within a unified account experience, according to coverage of the launch. Additional reporting said Kraken framed the move as building on its existing tokenized xStocks product while adding broader access to U.S. stock trading for EEA customers ^{[3] [4]}.

Kraken’s move brings U.S. stock trading into its EEA offering, with EEA customers reportedly able to combine traditional equities, tokenized xStocks, and crypto assets in one trading account ^{[1] [3]}.
