According to a Thursday announcement, Pepe (PEPE) and dogwifhat (WIF) are now <a href="https://x.com/krakenpro/status/1831714813539434691" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">available</a> for trading on Kraken Pro in Canada.&nbsp;
Kraken initially listed WIF back in February. As for PEPE, the upstart meme cryptocurrency landed on the exchange last May.&nbsp;&nbsp;
In August, Kraken added WIF and PEPE as new collateral for futures alongside some other products.&nbsp;
Last year, Kraken managed to expand its market share in Canada after Binance's departure. One of the oldest cryptocurrency exchanges experienced a sharp rise in deposits.
&nbsp;
Kraken first started operating in Canada more than a decade ago. It offers various CAD sport pairs. The exchange also has thousands of team members based in the country.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The exchange filed a pre-registration undertaking with the Ontario Securities Commission last March.&nbsp;
This was a major step on its path to securing restricted dealer licenses in the country. Coinbase, one of Kraken's top competitors, finally achieved this feat in April.&nbsp;
In its blog post, Kraken wrote that Canada had emerged as a major player within the cryptocurrency space. It pointed to a survey showing that more than a third of Canadians believe that crypto could be used for financial services.&nbsp;
As&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/some-canadians-buy-crypto-just-to-pay-ransoms-survey" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reported by U.Today</a>, less than 20% of Canadian owners actually actually used crypto for buying goods or services. At the same time, 7% of Canadians have used crypto primarily for payments ransoms.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, the exchange is facing legal problems in the U.S. Last November, the SEC slapped the company with a lawsuit. As&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/sec-scores-massive-victory-against-kraken" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reported by U.Today</a>, Kraken suffered a significant legal setback after the court rejected its motion to dismiss the lawsuit.&nbsp;
