Missing figures stay unavailable. Forward P/E requires a dated source. Annual revenue, revenue growth, net income and margin come from each company's own 10-K, in US dollars, and each row shows that fiscal year. Revenue growth compares the fiscal year with the prior year stated in the same 10-K. Net income is the full year amount attributable to the company, or available to common stockholders where the filing states only that, or consolidated net income. Each row names its basis. Trailing P/E reads "Not meaningful" when the dated trailing diluted EPS is a loss or zero. An operating margin appears only when the filing states both the operating income and the revenue for the same year.
Sources: SEC filings, Gloria daily closes and CoinGecko. Oldest record refresh: Oct 29, 2026, 12:47 PM EDT. Refresh is not a price or filing date. Each row shows its price date and its annual fiscal period. Peers use industry code and company size, or editorial selection. Market cap multiplies that row price by the company share total the latest SEC filing states for every share class together. Trailing P/E divides it by trailing diluted earnings from SEC filings. Rolled earnings per share are approximate because share counts can change between periods. Both appear only when the SEC data carries its date, so they are estimates at one price date, not synchronized filing valuations. Not investment advice.
Kraken is sitting on roughly $400 million in spot liquidity across MiCA-licensed exchanges, making it the clear frontrunner in Europe’s newly regulated crypto marketplace. The exchange also holds about $207 million in perpetual liquidity, putting meaningful distance between itself and every other compliant competitor on the continent.
The numbers come from DefiLlama’s freshly launched MiCA compliance dashboard, which went live on July 1, 2026. That date coincides with the full enforcement of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation for crypto asset service providers across the European Union.
The liquidity leaderboard takes shape
The exchange’s $399.71 million in spot liquidity dwarfs its nearest competitor. Coinbase, the second-place finisher, reports approximately $305 million in spot liquidity and $167 million in perpetuals. That’s a roughly $95 million gap in spot alone.
From there, the drop-off gets steep. Crypto.com trails with around $131 million in spot liquidity. Bitstamp, one of Europe’s legacy exchanges, comes in at roughly $55 million. And OKX sits near the bottom with about $12 million in spot liquidity and lower or no perpetual liquidity to speak of.
Kraken’s platform currently supports trading across 1,704 markets, covering both spot and perpetual products.

Why MiCA changes the game
The Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation represents the EU’s attempt to build a single, unified licensing framework for crypto service providers. One license, one set of rules, access to all 27 member states.
Kraken moved early. The exchange secured its MiCA authorization from the Central Bank of Ireland back in June 2025, a full year before the regulation’s enforcement deadline for crypto asset service providers. That head start gave Kraken time to build out its European operations, including spot, futures, and derivatives offerings, while competitors were still working through the licensing process.
DefiLlama’s MiCA compliance dashboard lets users compare exchanges on liquidity, compliance status, and transaction fees, all in one place.
What this means for investors
Coinbase, sitting in second place with $305 million in spot liquidity, remains a formidable competitor. But the $95 million gap to Kraken is significant enough to influence where large orders get routed.
Smaller MiCA-licensed platforms like OKX, with just $12 million in spot liquidity, face a difficult question: can they grow fast enough to remain viable, or will they become acquisition targets for larger players looking to expand their European footprint?
