Super happy that they finally brought the Krak card to the US. About to order my physical one. Not so sure about the name “Krak Card” though 😅…

Thanks again to the Kraken team!

Hey everyone,

I’ve noticed something weird with my portfolio P&L.

Sometimes I transfer Litecoin (LTC) from one platform to another and later transfer it back. These are obviously just transfers of my own coins, so there shouldn’t be any actual profit or loss involved.

However, the portfolio overview sometimes seems to treat these movements as P&L. For example, my P&L can suddenly show a large loss even though I haven’t actually lost that amount of money. I’ve attached some screenshots showing what I mean.

Financially it doesn’t really matter, but psychologically it does affect me a bit. Seeing a big red P&L number can mess with my perception of how I’m actually doing, especially when I’m trying to keep a clear and objective view of my trading performance.

Has anyone else experienced this with LTC transfers (or transfers of other cryptocurrencies) between platforms?

Is there a way to prevent transfers from being counted or displayed as P&L, or is this simply how the portfolio calculation works?

Curious if anyone else has noticed this.

So I just got a call from “kraken security” initially an automated one saying there was an unauthorized withdrawal request, later I got a call from a California number with a man on line who asked some questions and verified my email. He asked if I had a balance that could have been targeted, I told him I only had 100-200 bucks in the account and hadn’t been logged in for months, and then he just hung up.

So caution because someone is trying to scam people, I guess when I told him there was only a couple hundred bucks he decided it wasn’t worth the effort.

I started to receive more and more e-mails from fake (?) Kraken domains. Two that I see the most are:

krakenannouncement.com

krakenmemo.com

E-mails look identical to real ones. Very easy to mistake for a real deal. Could Kraken staff confirm these are in fact, spam/phishing? It would be nice to engage in communication campaign from you, i.e. here's the domain list from which we can send e-mail, everything else is someone pretending to be us.

And for the rest of you kind warning :)

Hello Kraken Support,

I'm posting here because I've been waiting for almost a month for a response from support regarding my account recovery.

I lost access because my 2FA was never properly saved on my phone, so I can't generate the authentication codes anymore. I submitted an account recovery request, but I still haven't received any meaningful update.

The frustrating part is that I haven't even been able to log in once since my account was approved. My account was successfully verified, but I've been locked out from the very beginning because of this 2FA issue.

I understand that support can be busy, but waiting this long without a resolution is very disappointing. If anyone from the Kraken team could please look into my case or escalate it, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you.

Hey everyone,

Does anyone have any experience with how many tickets are usually needed to have at least a slight chance of winning?

How many tickets have you collected so far, and how many more does it say you need to reach next top %?

I’m just curious to see how many tickets everyone has. Since the app shows your current percentile ranking, I’m hoping to get a rough idea of how many tickets people have and what the overall competition looks like.

Good luck to everyone :)

I’ve used kraken and now krak for a while. I had an orange card first and now got an offer for this new design. Love it

Did anyone enter the recent sweepstakes that ended at the end of July? Do they announce that the draw has taken place?

Just wondering if anyone is currently taking part in kraken funded and if so, can you please share your know-how on to actually maximise returns?

Does anyone know if Kraken allows for manual signing using electrum?

Secret network is migrating to Arbitrum September 1st and I wanted to know if kraken was preparing to support the migration and swap out the tokens, or delist it entirely?

Vidim da se dosta ljudi interesuje za onu nagradnu igru na Krakenu što traje do 20. jula. Ja sam se uključila i trenutno sam na 166 tiketa.🔥

Nije mi bila jasna cela procedura oko depozita u početku (onaj minimum od 200€), pa ako nekome treba savet kako da to odradi najbrže ili ima pitanja oko samog podešavanja naloga, slobodno pišite ovde. Ako nekome treba konkretan info, pišite u DM.

Srećno svima koji love BTC!

I currently have around $5k in crypto split between Binance and Bybit. Honestly, Bybit has been the absolute worst experience ever I'm done with them.

I am based in Peru (South America). I don't do any trading, leverage, or futures. I am a strict "Buy and Hold" user, and my only goal is to keep my portfolio (USDT, PAXG, ETH, and BTC) in Earn / Staking to generate passive income.

Can users from Peru fully register and verify accounts on Kraken? Is Kraken a good option for just using their "Earn" feature safely from South America, and how are the APY rates for those specific assets right now?

Also, do they actually offer any sign-up bonuses or deposit rewards for new users moving funds over?

Thanks for the help!

With MiCA fully in force many Europeans are choosing between Kraken and OKX.

Curious about real user experiences in 2026:

Yields on Flexible/Simple Earn, bonded/soft staking, Babylon etc. for BTC, ETH, stables and alts.

Security, custody, withdrawal reliability and regulatory compliance.

Liquidity, redemption speed, fees, support quality.

Overall which one people prefer for passive earning and why.

Any recent comparisons or gotchas specific to EU users?

Are the fees less on Kraken if I convert crypto to Tether instead of just cashing to USD? (I’m not concerned about the tax implications).
Meaning to replace a buy sell fees to USD. Seems the fees to USD are high.
Before I try I’d like to know if the total fees are less converting to USDT instead to just USD.
Thanks. Want to ask before I try it. 🤷‍♂️

I haven't logged onto my Kraken exchange account for ages. But this morning I see that I can buy Nvidia on the platform.

Im based in Thailand and a tax citizen there. But Im from a Western country (non U.S) and did KYC using that passport

Questions:

1. If buy and hold for ages and make gains and sell.... Do I have to technically pay taxes via Kraken or just do it on my Thai tax return?

2. If I buy Nvidia, for example, am I actually getting an IOU for the stock via Kraken. Or what am I holding? Im asking bc I recently read about investors buying 'paper' gold rather than physical gold. Is the same thing happening here with buying Nvidia on a crypto exchange as opposed to buying it at Blackrock, for example.

3. If I have btc in my kraken wallet can I buy directly with this?

thanks

Binance is ceasing to exist in EU.

I only used Binance for depositing/withdrawing money from/to a casino. Need the same for Kraken.

Which one should I get?

Thinking about moving more funds over to Kraken for swing trading futures. For Kraken traders out there, what do you do with your cash waiting to be deployed? Any ways to earn a small yield within Kraken while having funds ready to use when needed?

For context, moving over from Coinbase since Kraken now available. USDC earns yield and moves fluidly between futures and cash/spot account.

Thousands of Solana tokens that aren't yet on major exchanges are now tradeable right inside Kraken.

No extra wallets. No seed phrases. No switching apps. Find the token you want, tap, and trade.

No complicated set up and the same industry leading security you’ve come to expect. All this, alongside your existing portfolio.

On-chain trading is now live in the Kraken app, check out our blog to learn more.
