As a Kraken VIP client, you have access to promotional rates on select Earn assets through the VIP Earn Boost. These boosted rates are available through the Flexible Opt-in Rewards strategy, meaning you can allocate and deallocate instantly with no lock-up period.
Current promotion
Starting April 6, 2026, VIP clients can earn 10% APY on USDG through the Flexible (VIP boost) strategy. Here are the key details:
Asset: USDG
Rate: 10% APY
Strategy: Flexible (VIP boost), Opt-in Rewards
Deallocation wait time: Instant
Payout frequency: Once a week
Rewards paid in: USDG
Per-user cap: $3,000,000
If you are already participating in the Flexible Opt-In Rewards strategy, your APY will automatically update once the promotion begins.
Open Kraken Pro and select Earn from the left sidebar.
Find the USDG card in the "For you" section, or locate USDG in the "Ready to earn" table, and select Allocate.
In the "Earn on USDG" pop-up, select Flexible (VIP boost).
Select Continue.
Enter the amount of USDG you'd like to allocate (this promotion has a $3,000,000 cap, but you can still allocate more), or select Max to allocate your full available balance.
Review the details, including the deallocation wait time, payout frequency, and rewards asset.
Select Allocate to confirm. You'll see a confirmation screen once your allocation has been initiated. Your next payout date will be displayed on the confirmation screen.
Since the VIP boost uses a Flexible strategy, you can deallocate your USDG at any time with no waiting period. To deallocate:
Go to the Earn page on Kraken Pro and find USDG under the Allocated tab.
Select the asset and choose Deallocate.
Enter the amount you'd like to remove and confirm.
Your funds will be available in your spot balance immediately.
The VIP Earn Boost is available exclusively to Kraken VIP clients. If you're not yet a VIP, you can discover more here.
Promotional rates and availability are subject to change. Your Relationship Manager can provide details on upcoming campaigns.
The per-user cap of $3,000,000 applies to the total amount allocated to this specific VIP boost strategy.
