NFT Marketplace FAQ
Withdrawal hold

NFTs are subject to withdrawal holds. Certain deposits, such as first time ACH purchases, digital wallet, or debit/credit card purchases, will trigger a withdrawal hold for security purposes. If you do not have enough collateral in your account to satisfy the hold amount, one or more of your NFTs may be subject to a withdrawal hold. This means they cannot be withdrawn until the hold expires. Holds generally last 72 hours or up to 7 days depending on hold type. Learn more about withdrawal holds here.

Trade holds

Purchasing cryptocurrencies with credit cards or via ACH online banking will trigger a trade hold for the transacting user. This will prevent NFT trade activity (purchases, sales and offers) for a period of 72 hours, for enhanced security.

Account requirements

Clients will require Intermediate or Pro account verification in order to take full advantage of the NFT marketplace. Express level verification is not supported.

Deposits

Can I deposit any NFT to my Kraken account?
No, only NFTs from collections we support should be sent to your Kraken account. If you mistakenly sent an NFT to your Kraken account that is not a part of our supported collections, please contact support for assistance.
Does Kraken charge a fee to deposit an NFT to my Kraken account?
No, NFT deposits do not incur a fee from Kraken.

Withdrawals

Can I accidentally withdraw my NFT to the wrong chain?
No, only approved withdrawal addresses for the correct chain will be selectable upon withdrawal.
Is there a fee to withdraw my NFT from my Kraken account?

Yes, there is a 0.01 ETH fee for Ethereum withdrawals and 0.02 SOL fee for Solana withdrawals. You may also incur a gas fee (network fee) for NFT withdrawal.

Gas fees are charged by the blockchain and the amount of the gas fee is therefore not controlled by Kraken and cannot be manually set or adjusted by us. 

Because the transaction fee varies based on network conditions, it is possible that the fee will go up or down at any given time, and these changes are not able to be predicted.

I can't withdraw my NFT from my Kraken account, why?

There are multiple reasons an NFT withdrawal could fail:

  • Not enough funds to pay for withdrawal fee.
  • Not enough funds in your Kraken account to pay for gas (network fee).
  • No approved withdrawal address for the correct chain.
  • Restrictions on your account (withdrawal lock).

If you require further assistance with any of the above, please contact support.

Other

Are collection airdrops supported for NFT holders?

Kraken makes no promises, guarantees or warranties with respect to the outcome of potential or proposed airdrops, and no promises about the addition of new tokens in general.  

Clients should not assume that Kraken will list or credit any fork, airdrop or any other token. If you wish to participate in a fork or airdrop, withdraw the affected NFT to your own private wallet well ahead of the deadline. Review the differences between a crypto wallet and a crypto exchange for more information.
