Kraken has announced that it will delist Monero (XMR) for Canadian customers, citing the need to comply with recent regulatory requirements in Canada. According to Kraken’s official support notice, XMR deposits for Canadian clients have been immediately suspended, and the exchange will disable trading for all XMR trading pairs for Canadian users on September 2, 2025. After that date, Canadian clients will no longer be able to trade Monero on Kraken. The change is part of a broader pattern of regulatory pressure on privacy-focused cryptocurrencies such as Monero, which has already been delisted or restricted by Kraken in other jurisdictions including the UK and the European Economic Area in response to local regulatory guidance. Kraken’s Canadian Monero delisting underscores how tightening compliance standards, particularly around anti–money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) expectations, are shaping centralized exchanges’ support for privacy coins. Canadian Kraken users who hold XMR must withdraw their balances before the stated deadline to retain control of their Monero holdings.
