Kraken co-CEO David Ripley said that U.S. crypto regulation is “adversarial,” and that it’s not as pragmatic as Europe. Europe is moving from following the U.S. to leading the way, and it has drawn a comparison between MiCA and the CLARITY bill that the U.S. just saw collapse, praising MiCA for setting clear rules for the industry.
Kraken itself obtained an MiCA license from the Central Bank of Ireland starting in June 2025, covering all 30 EU countries. Coming from the mouth of a trading-exchange CEO who has already benefited from Europe’s regulatory regime, the statement sounds more like an advertisement for its own regulatory environment. The report also doesn’t provide specific token, enforcement, or fund-flow data. For ordinary users, this information is more suitable as an observation of industry policy, not as a basis for taking action in any given direction. #欧洲央行启动区块链欧元结算 #南非拟将加密纳入外汇管制 #Clarity #MiCA
