How the Incentive Program Works
Kraken Institutional introduces the Market Participation Program, a transparent and time-limited structure to which our largest clients (in terms of transaction volume) are eligible, subject to compliance with eligibility standards and conditions. Participants who contribute significantly to market liquidity and trading activity may earn Kraken Share Incentives* in the form of warrants – a unique approach among global Tier 1 crypto exchanges.
By tying rewards to our long-term success, we create shared alignment between our business and its most active participants. The more our markets prosper, the more everyone benefits – traders, investors, and the broader crypto ecosystem.
Based on transparency and fairness, the market participation program is open, competitive and rules-based – a clear and fair path so that qualified participants can contribute and be rewarded.
Liquidity and power of partnerships
Partnerships are the starting point for lasting success. It is the force that transforms ambition into progress and progress into shared achievement. At Kraken, we believe that when people and goals align, something bigger than any business takes shape, a living network of trust, innovation and resilience.
When participant alignment and healthy competition coexist on a level playing field, integrity is at the heart of the process and markets can evolve. Liquidity strengthens and participation broadens, improving market conditions for all our clients.
Each collaboration, each shared initiative adds strength to the exchange itself. This is a first initiative, but it will not be an isolated effort; it is the first thread of a larger whole that will support the health and liquidity of the markets.
The Market Participation Program looks beyond the immediate horizon and invests in a future based on success, consistency and shared belief. Our partners’ success becomes ours, and in this mutual growth, Kraken becomes more than an exchange; it becomes a catalyst for sustainable progress in the digital economy.
Looking to the future
As we continue to evolve our infrastructure and prepare for the next phase of growth, we are focused on programs that align customer success with our mission: accelerate the global adoption of cryptocurrencies through robust and transparent markets.
