As a cryptocurrency enthusiast, I'm curious to know where the popular exchange platform Kraken is not available. I understand that it serves a global customer base, but there must be certain regions or jurisdictions where its services are inaccessible due to legal or regulatory reasons. Can you elaborate on which specific countries, territories, or jurisdictions Kraken is currently not offering its exchange and trading services? Additionally, is there any indication from Kraken if they plan to expand into these markets in the future? This information would be crucial for me as I explore potential trading opportunities across different regions.
