“Not observed” means the radar has no current fact — not that the venue lacks the capability.
Highlighted tickers only. Full catalogs: 860 vs 805 observed asset ids.
Highlighted pairs both venues list: BTC/EUR, ETH/EUR. Observed pair counts: 1,431 vs 958.
Kraken shows more trading pairs in its public catalog: Kraken lists 1,431 and KuCoin lists 958 as of 2026-11-11. These are catalog counts of open or restricted markets, not volume, liquidity or a quality score.
Kraken shows 860 observed assets and KuCoin shows 805 as of 2026-11-11, so Kraken has the wider asset catalog. Both currently show BTC, ETH, SOL, USDT, USDC, XRP, BNB, and LINK. Delisted entries are excluded and a count is not a statement about any single token.
Only partly. The radar has no network facts for Kraken. Their public APIs do not expose per-chain rails without an account, so this means "not collected", not "unsupported".
No. This page places the public catalogs of Kraken and KuCoin side by side (markets, supported assets, and API coverage). It does not cover fees, security, regulation or which exchange to use, and it does not pick a winner.
