How Liquid is Kraken?

Recent independent research conducted by Finery Tech found Kraken cryptocurrency exchange to be the “clear leader” and offers the deepest liquidity for BTC/EUR pairing. The study determined Kraken as the front runner while also assessing popular exchanges Binance, Bitstamp, and Coinbase.

As recently reported by Blockchain.News—Kraken Futures, a subsidiary of Kraken, also known as Crypto Facilities, recently announced it had been granted a Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) license from the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

A Multilateral Trading Facility is a term used for trading systems that facilitate the exchange of financial products between different parties in Europe. However, with the Brexit deal still in negotiation, it has not been made clear how regulatory licensing will be treated for after the event.
