Kraken

Kraken is generally strong for API + ledger CSV exports. Still verify staking, futures, and OTC separately.

4. Regulatory snapshot (MiCA)

Linked legal entities when curated — never equate brand ≡ licence.

Brand ≠ licence. Open each legal entity page before asserting MiCA authorisation.

Caveats

  • Brand Kraken ≠ a single MiCA legal entity — see linked Payward entities
  • Keep original CSVs; do not reformat dates/amounts
