Kraken VIP Program

Last updated: 10 ліпеня 2026 г.

Kraken VIP is a personalized experience built for clients managing significant capital, offering direct access, tailored support, and the clarity to act with confidence.

Within Kraken VIP, you have access to:

  • •

    A dedicated Relationship Manager who understands your activity and supports your decisions with speed and context.

  • •

    Rapid support with clear escalation paths.

  • •

    Early access to new products and feature rollouts, enabling you to act ahead of broader release.

    Private 1:1 sessions with our Chief Economist, Product Leaders, and Security Analysts.

As a VIP, access continues as long as qualification criteria are met. The program is built around how you engage with Kraken: your trading behavior, your balance, and your activity across products. This keeps access transparent and predictable.

Here's what happens after you opt in:

  1. 1

    Your Relationship Manager sends you a written summary of your VIP access and benefits.

    Your welcome call is scheduled.

  3. 3

Maintaining your VIP status

Your VIP status is reviewed on a rolling basis. To remain in the program, you must continue meeting any one of the following each month:

  • •

    $10M+ average monthly balance.

  • •

    $7M+ monthly spot volume.

  • •

    Equivalent margin or futures activity.

To ensure continuity of service, Kraken operates an 8-week review process if thresholds are no longer met:

  • •

    30-day notice - you'll be informed if your activity falls below the threshold.

  • •

    4-week remediation period - time to meet qualifying criteria before access is paused.

  • •

    During and after any exit, you'll continue receiving standard Kraken support.

If your VIP access is paused, re-entry is available:

  • •

    You may reapply after 1 month.

  • •

    The same qualification criteria apply.

  • •

    A re-entry waitlist is available if spots are limited.
