Crypto exchanges often compete by lowering fees to attract high-frequency traders who want the cheapest trades possible.
But this month, Kraken takes a fresh path, offering a simple 3% bonus on new cash or crypto deposits for users of its mobile app, rewarding people who hold onto their assets instead of trading them often.
The reward setup starts at $1 and caps at $1 million, offering a maximum of $30,000 per user.
Founded in 2011, Kraken has always stood out as a secure choice amid the risks posed by offshore platforms. This promotion builds on that strong foundation to attract long-term capital from the United States and many other countries worldwide.
The Mechanics of the Match
The offer follows clear rules. Kraken bases the bonus on “Net Eligible Deposits” (NED). They figure this out by adding up all deposits from outside sources and then subtracting any withdrawals made during the promotion, which ends on March 9. You cannot play the system by moving the same money in and out; only true new funds count.
Users should see these funds show up in their accounts within 14 days after the promotion wraps up on March 9.
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.
How to Execute the Trade
To take part, users must complete two steps. First, opt in using the Kraken app. Second, turn on “Auto-Earn.”
If you try to join without Auto-Earn on, the app will show a message asking you to enable it.
This promotion applies only to the basic app. You can join through the Kraken App, but not the more advanced Kraken Pro version.
Almost anyone can join, since the smallest deposit needed is only $1, and the 3% bonus extends up to $1,000,000 in net deposits.
Kraken: The Exchange Behind the Offer
With digital assets, trust matters most. Kraken ranks among the oldest exchanges, running without breaks since 2011, even before Ethereum existed. It has made it through several tough “crypto winters” and big failures that took down rivals like FTX and Mt. Gox.
The exchange earns its good name through strong rules compliance and top security, rather than flashy ads or its own tokens. It shares Proof of Reserves audits regularly, so users can verify that Kraken truly holds the assets it claims to hold.
