Report first recorded Oct 25, 03:27
Kraken has withdrawn compliance demands sent to Monero (XMR) customers, which requested information about employers, sources of funds, and intended use of the cryptocurrency, after co-CEO Arjun Sethi admitted the requests were unjustified and not required by regulation. Sethi clarified that verifying the origin of funds is fair, but questioning post-withdrawal use is unacceptable. However, Kraken retains a $1,500 rolling 30-day withdrawal cap for individuals, while maintaining existing anti-money-laundering obligations that allow requests for bank statements and investment records. Note that Kraken discontinued XMR trading and deposits for EEA clients on Oct. 31, 2024, with a deadline of Dec. 31, 2024, for withdrawals before automatic conversion to Bitcoin.
