If you qualified, please refer back to this FAQ about your rewards, withdrawals and more.
The October Deposit Match is a limited-time promotion that rewards you for depositing cash or crypto on Kraken.
Eligible participants can earn a deposit match, in Global Dollar (USDG), when you opt-in and make qualifying net deposits during the promotion period. To keep your reward, simply maintain your balance at or above your qualifying net deposits for 12 months.
If you're a Kraken+ subscriber, you might keep your subscription for the additional deposit match boost.
If your balance stays at or above this level when making withdrawals off-platform, your reward remains yours to keep.
October 1, 2025 – October 31, 2025 or when the community net deposits reach $500M, whichever comes first.
