Kraken Pro began offering European-style crypto options on bitcoin and ether to investors in Germany and the EU starting October 26, 2026, under a MiFID licence. Trading requires passing a MiFID II appropriateness assessment, ensuring only experienced investors access these complex derivatives. Options are cash-settled in US dollars, with no physical coin delivery, and taxed as derivatives at a flat 25% rate in Germany, without a holding period. This launch provides regulated, transparent access to crypto options but demands careful risk and tax consideration from investors.
