Kraken Adds 3% Bonus to New Deposits Through Early March

Kraken has rolled out a deposit match program that pays users a flat 3% on new capital brought onto the platform, an offer covering both cash and crypto assets. The ceiling is high – up to $1 million in deposits per user – meaning the payout could reach $30,000 for those moving significant liquidity.

This is not a trading competition. It is a liquidity incentive aimed directly at account holders willing to park assets on the exchange. The offer runs through early March and works through the standard Kraken mobile app.

Kraken is offering this deposit match this as a straightforward value add for existing and new clients alike, provided they are willing to adhere to a specific holding period.

Mechanics and Requirements

Participation, available in many countries around the world, requires the standard Kraken App, so users who primarilyuse the Kraken Pro interface must switch to the standard consumer app to opt in. The offer works through the “Auto-Earn” feature, so users must have Auto-Earn enabled to qualify. If it is not active at the time of opt-in, the app will prompt the user to turn it on.

Rewards are delivered within 14 days following the March 9th conclusion. For most global users, the value is delivered in USDG. Canadian participants will receive their match in USDC.

February Deposit Match: Get a 3% match on new on-platform cash or crypto you deposit between February 2nd and March 9th.

Flat, simple value: One competitive match rate applies to everyone — 3% on all eligible deposits, up to $1,000,000 total throughout the month.

Flexible funding: You can deposit in one transaction or many — all eligible deposits during the promo period count.

The most significant condition for the user is the retention requirement. To prevent users from gaming the system – depositing solely for the bonus and immediately withdrawing – Kraken has instituted a clawback clause. Users must avoid net withdrawals below the bonused deposit amount for 18 months.

If the balance drops below the threshold during that period, the exchange reserves the right to reclaim the bonus. This effectively functions as a term incentive, rewarding long-term capital retention over short-term velocity.

About Kraken

Founded in 2011, Kraken is one of the longest-standing venues in the digital asset space. It has survived multiple market cycles that erased many of its early competitors. The exchange serves over 10 million clients globally and provides access to spot trading, margin, futures, and staking services.
