Today I received an email from Kraken saying they will stop trades from within the U.K. they say it’s to comply to new regulations imposed by the FCA.
“In compliance with UK regulations, Kraken (Payward Ltd) will no longer be supporting Monero (XMR) on its platform.”
“On the 26th of November, all Monero (XMR) trading on Kraken will cease in the UK. This includes Instant Buy/Sell Services as well as order book trading on XMR/BTC, XMR/USD, and XMR/EUR.”
Any deposits of Monero (XMR) in the UK will no longer be credited after 26th of November. Thereafter, Monero (XMR) balances can be withdrawn to a personal wallet or to an alternative exchange.
There’s still an option: SimpleSwap. https://SimpleSwap.com/ they’re perhaps better since they don’t require KYC/AML5.
