PANews reported on November 4th that Kraken announced its EU MiFID-regulated derivatives platform now supports users using crypto assets as collateral. Previously, only fiat currency collateral was available. This expansion, based on its MiCA license obtained from the Central Bank of Ireland and its MiFID accreditation in Cyprus, aims to provide more flexible leveraged trading options within a compliant framework, meeting the strong demand from institutional clients for crypto-native products.
