Kraken announced in email that from 26 November UK users will no longer be able to trade Monero (XMR) on the platform. Instant Buy/Sell Services will cease all trading activities including order book trading on XMR/BTC, XMR/USD and XMR/EUR pairs. In addition to the discontinued trading services, UK users will not be allowed to fund their balances with Monero on the exchange after 26 November. However, users will be able to withdraw their entire existing Monero balance to other wallets or exchanges.
Also on November 23, UK users will no longer be able to increase, but decrease their Monero margin positions on the exchange. Three days later, on November 26, the exchange will liquidate all open margin positions and cancel all open orders. Cryptocoin. com
