Listen Later

US-based crypto exchange Kraken is shuttering its Abu Dhabi office as part of its ongoing global cost-cutting measures, reports Bloomberg.


The move means that transactions in Dirham, the country’s official currency, will no longer be allowed. However, customers from the region will still be able to use the platform.


The company took the decision less than 12 months after gaining a local license. Kraken no longer shows up in the registry for Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM).
