Risk Warning

Trading financial instruments involves significant risk and can result in the loss of your invested capital. You should not invest more than you can afford to lose and should ensure that you fully understand the risks involved. Leverage trading can amplify both profits and losses. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Before trading, please consider your level of experience, investment objectives, and seek independent financial advice if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I evaluate Kraken security?
Review Kraken's current security, custody, incident, and product disclosures. No exchange statement eliminates market, operational, custody, or account-security risk.
What is Kraken's proof of reserves?
Proof-of-reserves disclosures are limited-scope evidence about specified assets and liabilities at a point in time; they are not a guarantee against market loss or every operational risk.
Pricing
Kraken publishes separate schedules for instant buy, spot, futures, margin, and other products. Fees depend on product, 30-day volume, payment method, and jurisdiction; check the current schedule before trading.
