I joined six weeks ago and am still only pre-verified for tiers 2 and 3. I doubt that the reason fastest963 can't trade USD is because of the reason you just gave. Kraken needs to be more forthcoming with which states it's properly registered in to deal with USD, because I know it's not registered in California or Kansas.


I will emphasize that this is not my area and I am not commenting in an official capacity but IIRC it's less about 'registered in', and more about 'has state-specific financial licenses for' versus 'has a business presence in' versus individual state law. Somewhat like the mess that is US the domestic tax nexus. Anyway, I believe there are legal reasons why, owing to the above, we are not allowed to divulge state-on-state policy. We have a really good legal team. Yes, this sounds nuts and is entirely counterintuitive, but that's the US legal system for you.
