Kraken and MEXC expand partnership as MEXC exits France

Kraken and MEXC have expanded their partnership to France: MEXC is referring its French clients to Kraken as it winds down its French operations, building on the agreement already in place for the Netherlands. Kraken will support affected clients through the transition.

• Referred clients get access to over 600 crypto assets, 1,000+ tokenized assets, EUR fiat rails, and quarterly independently verified Proof of Reserves
• MEXC clients are priority-queued for KYC with a target of under 24 hours; they should use the same email address as at MEXC and can swap Kraken-unsupported assets to USDC before transferring
• Kraken cited its MiCA authorization from the Central Bank of Ireland (since June 2025), a MiFID authorization from CySEC for derivatives, and CBI e-money authorization as the regulatory basis for the move
