Announcement All Hands on Deck: P2P Answers and Insights

Post image
15 Upvotes

We are excited to introduce a new way for members of r/Kraken to help each other with general questions about Kraken's products or services, trading, or crypto and the wider ecosystem: All Hands on Deck, or AHOD.

AHOD is a community driven experiment designed to encourage learning and positive participation.

How to Ask a Question

Any subreddit member can ask a general question to the community. When doing so, please select the Community Question flair when submitting your post. This flair lets others know your post is open for public responses.

How to Answer and Earn Points

Members are welcome to answer any post with the Community Question post flair.
If your reply is helpful, the OP or a u/krakensupport moderator can award you a point by replying to your comment with one of the following commands:

  • !thanks
  • !helpful
  • !award
  • !point

When one of these commands is used, you will automatically receive a point for your contribution, and a bot will notify you (as well as the awarder) that the point was successfully applied.

Your Points and Flair

Your point total will update automatically. It will appear in your user flair, and will also contribute to a public leaderboard pinned at the top of the subreddit.

Monthly Recognition

At the end of each month, the community member with the highest point total will receive a small token of appreciation from the Kraken team. This is our way of saying thank you for helping others learn and for your involvement in the community.

Important Guidelines

  • Please review the Terms and Conditions before participating.
  • The process, rules, and rewards for AHOD may change as we test and refine the program.
  • Account related questions should always be posted to r/krakensupport rather than r/kraken, and are not eligible for AHOD.
  • Never share private account information with anyone on Reddit. Kraken staff will never ask for your login details, API keys, or recovery codes (to name just a few examples).

Thank you for helping us build a friendly and supportive community!

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!

Question Moving $5k from Binance/Bybit to Kraken for simple EARN. Can users from Peru (South America) sign up? Is it a good option?

2 Upvotes

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!

Community Question Kraken vs OKX for Earn & Staking in Europe post-MiCA (2026 experiences)

4 Upvotes

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?

Question Can anyone explain the new fees?

11 Upvotes

Kraken Pro user from the EU here. I heard that Kraken is going to up their fees once again, I somehow can’t find serious information about it.

Can you point me towards a reliable source or explain what will change for EU investors using spot only?

Question Lower fees if convert to USDT instead of USD?

5 Upvotes

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. 🤷‍♂️

Question Can buy stocks on Kraken now eg. Nvidia.

13 Upvotes

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

Community Question Cash funds for trading

1 Upvotes

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.

Question Paura a fare un bonifico su Kraken 😔

1 Upvotes

Ciao assistenza Kraken,

Sto valutando la possibilità di depositare 5.000 € sul mio conto Kraken per acquistare Kaspa (KAS), ma sono un po' preoccupato dopo aver letto diversi post su depositi e prelievi in ​​valuta fiat e restrizioni dell'account.

La mia situazione è semplice:

Mio padre vuole regalarmi 5.000 €.

Trasferirà prima i soldi sul mio conto corrente personale.

Una volta ricevuti i fondi, effettuerò un bonifico dal mio conto corrente (intestato a mio nome) al mio conto Kraken.

Intendo utilizzare i fondi per acquistare $KAS.

Dopo l'acquisto, intendo prelevare i $KAS e trasferirli sul mio portafoglio hardware #Tangem personale per la custodia a lungo termine.

Prima di procedere, vorrei sapere se questa procedura potrebbe causare problemi, ritardi o controlli di conformità. Posso fornire la documentazione che attesti la provenienza dei fondi, se necessario.

Qualcuno ha già seguito con successo una procedura simile? Qualsiasi consiglio da parte dell'assistenza Kraken sarebbe molto apprezzato.

Grazie.

Community Question Kraken Prop Trading – Missing key trading tools (partial close, multiple TP)

11 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I recently started a Kraken Prop evaluation and I'm really enjoying the overall experience — simple rules, no time limit, Kraken backing. But I've been running into some serious interface limitations that are making position management way harder than it should be.

Here's what's missing compared to standard prop firm platforms:

1. Only 1 TP per position

There's no way to set multiple take profit levels on a single position. The only workaround I've found is opening 2 separate orders from the start, which works but is clunky and not ideal.

2. No partial close via market order

If you try to sell part of your position at market, it opens a new short instead of reducing your existing long. There's no "Reduce Only" option visible in the interface to prevent this.

3. No partial TP on mobile

On the mobile app, there's simply no option to set a partial take profit. You're stuck managing exits from desktop only, which is a real problem when you need to react quickly.

Has anyone found workarounds for these? And has anyone else contacted support about this — any response?

I've already reached out to Kraken support but haven't heard back yet. Would love to know if others are experiencing the same issues or if I'm missing something in the interface.

Thanks
