2026 World Cup: Kraken offers up to 1 Bitcoin
Only a few days left. On July 1st, 2026, the axe falls: any exchange serving European customers without a MiCA license must cease its activities within the Union. For millions of users, the question is no longer theoretical, it is very concrete.
A question to start with. If tomorrow your crypto platform lost the right to operate in Europe, where would you go? It sounds theoretical. It is not.

And to welcome all those who will have to move their cryptos in the coming weeks, the platform launches two offers. A contest with one million euros, and zero Futures fees on Kraken Pro for both new and existing Kraken users.

Every scroll, every message, every online interaction generates raw data, the most valuable fuel powering modern artificial intelligence. Big tech companies have built empires worth trillions of dollars on this raw material, without ever compensating those who produce it. Faced with this structural imbalance, projects emerging from the Web3 ecosystem are now attempting to offer an alternative: turning users into paid participants in the AI data economy, rather than passive suppliers taken for granted.
