FAQs

Kraken Pro gives active traders deep-liquidity spot execution across 1,400+ crypto pairs, with advanced order types and an API to run strategies programmatically. You own every asset outright, withdraw, self-custody, or move on-chain. Supported pairs, fees, and eligibility vary by region.
Spot means you buy the asset outright and own it — no borrowing, leverage, or liquidation risk. Margin and futures use leverage. Spot is the most direct way to hold exposure.
Spot uses a maker-taker fee schedule that falls as your 30-day volume grows. You see the fee before confirming each order so you can make informed trades.
Limit, stop, stop-limit, OCO, and post-only, so you control entry and exit price, size, and triggers.
Availability, supported pairs, and fees vary by region. Kraken operates in 190+ countries with 145+ regulatory permissions obtained globally, including with the SEC, FCA, MiCA, FINTRAC, and more.
