Welcome to the primary version of a month-to-month have a look at what units the Kraken VIP expertise aside.
What’s new
Safety analyst periods
The folks focusing 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 minimize it.
That’s why we’ve launched Safety Analyst Periods for VIP shoppers: a non-public, one-to-one evaluation with a member of Kraken’s safety staff, constructed round your particular setup and never a guidelines.
These periods cowl account safety settings (Grasp Key, Funding 2FA, World Settings Lock), authentication strategies from SMS by to {hardware} keys, electronic mail and gadget safety, and a plain-English walk-through of how fashionable assaults really work. Phishing. Malware. Social engineering. Account takeover. The sort 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 are able to provide a VIP consumer, 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 unbiased and ongoing. It’s designed to reward the sort of relationships which can be already being constructed, to not solid a large internet.

From Melbourne to Amsterdam: the human facet of VIP
The previous few months took our staff 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 remaining, beginning with dinner at a waterfront restaurant on the Yarra River earlier than heading to the world. What struck us most wasn’t the match; it was the dialog on the desk. Purchasers acquired onto the topic of funding challenges with Australian banks (an actual frustration, and a shared one), and what began as a commiseration became a sensible, sincere dialogue about how Kraken might assist. One consumer who was launched to our OTC desk throughout occasion planning later shared extraordinarily constructive suggestions and plans to carry their full FX enterprise to Kraken. Their visitors left impressed to achieve VIP-level exercise themselves.
That’s the factor about getting folks round a desk: the conversations that matter are likely to occur naturally.
Tremendous Bowl: San Francisco
Ten VIP shoppers and 4 visitors joined us for a full weekend. The Saturday arrival dinner was at a Chinese language restaurant, chosen by considered one 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 sort 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 became a pure gathering level, and shoppers bonded over the halftime present as a lot as anything. By the post-game burger run, the group had stopped feeling like a hosted occasion and began feeling like a group.
That peer-to-peer connection is one thing we are able to’t manufacture. We are able to 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 Major Card expertise on Saturday, with a non-public switch to Arnhem and VIP lounge entry.
The small group format (three shoppers) meant the Friday dinner conversations went deep, and the environment on Saturday was genuinely electrical. We additionally heard sincere suggestions: some shoppers expressed a desire for one-to-one meetups, and some raised issues round anonymity at group occasions. We’re taking that severely. The perfect factor a few small program is that suggestions loops are brief, and we’re already excited 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 need to keep in this system.
However the numbers aren’t the story. The story is within the feedback. Purchasers point out their Relationship Managers by title – not their position, their title. A number of described their Relationship Supervisor as the rationale they moved to Kraken from one other change, or the rationale they felt secure on an change after a troublesome expertise elsewhere. One consumer 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 need to carry their kids. Regional group dinners nearer to dwelling for shoppers who haven’t been capable of be part of us at main occasions but. Conferences and business occasions. And masses extra.
On the product facet: VIP yield alternatives with higher charges and extra flexibility are in improvement, and the VIP Portal in Kraken Professional is getting significant upgrades, together with Relationship Supervisor verification in-app. We’re additionally constructing a non-public VIP group house the place shoppers can join with one another and with the Kraken staff straight.
