In plain English: Kraken is a crypto exchange that lists xStocks for trading.
Kraken listed xStocks on 30 June 2025 with 24/5 trading and withdrawals (PR Newswire).
On 18 Aug 2026 Kraken opened 7,000+ US-listed stocks to eligible EEA customers under MiFID II through Payward Europe Digital Solutions (CY) Limited, next to 700+ xStocks in the same account (Kraken). EEA clients must pass a questionnaire and can trade xStocks only with fiat via Convert, not on Pro order books or the API (Kraken support).
Kraken said on 22 Oct 2026 that its xStocks lineup exceeds 1,000 tokenized instruments (The Defiant, news; not yet confirmed on a Kraken page).
What this means for holders
- Kraken lists xStocks, so what you hold is an xStock with Backed’s terms: see xStocks.
- Trading is 24/5 and tokens can be withdrawn to a self-custody wallet (PR Newswire).
