“Not observed” means the radar has no current fact — not that the venue lacks the capability.
Highlighted tickers only. Full catalogs: 860 vs 1,416 observed asset ids.
Highlighted pairs both venues list: BTC/EUR, ETH/EUR, LINK/EUR, SOL/EUR. Observed pair counts: 1,431 vs 1,792.
MEXC shows more trading pairs in its public catalog: Kraken lists 1,431 and MEXC lists 1,792 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 MEXC shows 1,416 as of 2026-11-11, so MEXC 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. The radar has no network facts for MEXC. 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 MEXC 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.
