Welcome to the primary version of a month-to-month take a look at what units the Kraken VIP expertise aside.
What’s new
Safety analyst periods
The individuals concentrating on crypto accounts aren’t opportunists. They function like companies: organized, data-driven, and protracted. A high-value account is a high-value goal, and generic safety recommendation doesn’t lower it.
That’s why we’ve launched Safety Analyst Classes for VIP shoppers: a personal, one-to-one evaluate with a member of Kraken’s safety workforce, constructed round your particular setup and never a guidelines.
These periods cowl account safety settings (Grasp Key, Funding 2FA, International Settings Lock), authentication strategies from SMS via to {hardware} keys, e mail and system safety, and a plain-English walk-through of how trendy assaults truly work. Phishing. Malware. Social engineering. Account takeover. The form of stuff that’s simpler to defend in opposition to when you perceive the way it operates.
This is among the most sensible issues we will supply a VIP shopper, and we’re glad it’s now a proper a part of this system.
VIP referrals

As soon as enrolled, VIP shoppers obtain a private referral hyperlink. When somebody they introduce begins buying and selling, the referrer earns income share on eligible exercise throughout spot, futures, margin, staking, and xStocks.
There’s no cap; every referral is impartial and ongoing. It’s designed to reward the form of relationships which are already being constructed, to not solid a large web.

From Melbourne to Amsterdam: the human aspect of VIP
The previous few months took our workforce and our shoppers to 3 very totally different corners of the world.
Australian Open: Melbourne
We hosted a gaggle of VIP shoppers on the males’s closing, beginning with dinner at a waterfront restaurant on the Yarra River earlier than heading to the sector. What struck us most wasn’t the match; it was the dialog on the desk. Shoppers acquired onto the topic of funding challenges with Australian banks (an actual frustration, and a shared one), and what began as a commiseration was a sensible, sincere dialogue about how Kraken may assist. One shopper who was launched to our OTC desk throughout occasion planning later shared extraordinarily constructive suggestions and plans to convey their full FX enterprise to Kraken. Their company left impressed to achieve VIP-level exercise themselves.
That’s the factor about getting individuals round a desk: the conversations that matter are inclined to occur naturally.
Tremendous Bowl: San Francisco
Ten VIP shoppers and 4 company joined us for a full weekend. The Saturday arrival dinner was at a Chinese language restaurant, chosen by one in every of our VIPs. Sunday was breakfast on the lodge, natural introductions, and shoppers discovering their very own rhythm earlier than we’d even made it to the stadium.
The pre-game tent turned a hub for the form of conversations you don’t schedule: margin, OTC, prediction markets, referrals, and a good quantity of real pleasure in regards to the recreation itself. Contained in the stadium, the standing-room space subsequent to the bar was a pure gathering level, and shoppers bonded over the halftime present as a lot as the rest. By the post-game burger run, the group had stopped feeling like a hosted occasion and began feeling like a neighborhood.
That peer-to-peer connection is one thing we will’t manufacture. We will solely create the situations for it.
GLORY Kickboxing: Amsterdam
Our first VIP occasion within the area: a two-day expertise constructed round a Michelin-star Chef’s Desk dinner at The Duchess on Friday and a full GLORY SuperFights and Important Card expertise on Saturday, with a personal switch to Arnhem and VIP lounge entry.
The small group format (three shoppers) meant the Friday dinner conversations went deep, and the ambiance on Saturday was genuinely electrical. We additionally heard sincere suggestions: some shoppers expressed a desire for one-to-one meetups, and some raised considerations round anonymity at group occasions. We’re taking that severely. One of the best factor a few small program is that suggestions loops are brief, and we’re already desirous about how the format evolves from right here.
What shoppers are telling us
We ran our Q1 2026 NPS survey throughout VIP shoppers in dozens of nations. Responses got here in throughout 5 languages, with 97% of respondents saying they wish to keep in this system.
However the numbers aren’t the story. The story is within the feedback. Shoppers point out their Relationship Managers by title – not their position, their title. A number of described their Relationship Supervisor as the explanation they moved to Kraken from one other alternate, or the explanation they felt secure on an alternate after a tough expertise elsewhere. One shopper put it merely: ‘Private contact in an age of digital bots.’
What’s coming
The pipeline for the remainder of the yr is substantial. A VIP wine retreat for choose shoppers. F1 hospitality all through the season. Wimbledon Tennis. A behind-the-scenes day with the Atlassian Williams F1 Staff, designed particularly for VIPs who wish to convey their kids. Regional neighborhood dinners nearer to residence for shoppers who haven’t been in a position to be part of us at main occasions but. Conferences and business occasions. And masses extra.
On the product aspect: VIP yield alternatives with higher charges and extra flexibility are in growth, and the VIP Portal in Kraken Professional is getting significant upgrades, together with Relationship Supervisor verification in-app. We’re additionally constructing a personal VIP neighborhood house the place shoppers can join with one another and with the Kraken workforce straight.
