Kraken is defintely worth a shot. Most alts on Kraken trade against EUR and USD as well as BTC.

The key thing to understand is that most investors take the trouble to undergo the verification of one platform and then they stick to it. That means their investing opportunities are restricted to the alts on that platform.

if Hive wants to break away from the eastern platforms (Binance and so) and service it's mainly western users, it needs to be on Kraken.
