The exchange scraps emails that pressed XMR holders on their coin use, while confirming Monero remains listed. Kraken's co-CEO has publicly acknowledged a mistake tied to how the exchange handled Monero withdrawals. The company had sent emails to users asking them to explain their use of the privacy-focused cryptocurrency. Those messages prompted criticism from the community and from the co-CEO's own account.
