Kraken has announced that it will stop trading and deposits for Monero in the European Economic Area from October 31, 2024, citing regulatory and compliance obligations. The exchange will convert any remaining tokens into Bitcoin if users do not withdraw them by December 31, 2024. This decision follows regulatory developments in the European Union prohibiting the use of privacy-focused tokens like Monero.
