Kraken has launched an exclusive promotion for October 2025: eligible users who make qualifying deposits through the Kraken App can earn a 1%–2% deposit match in USDG.
The final bonus percentage depends on the total aggregate deposits made by all participants. The more users participate, the higher the match rate goes, up to 2%.
Promotion Period & How It Works
- •Promotion Period: October 2 – October 31, 2025
- •The promotion may end early once total aggregate deposits reach $500 million
- •Users must opt in through the Offers Page in the Kraken App (rocket icon in the top‑right, or via home/explore cards)
- •Minimum Net Deposit: $1,000 (or equivalent) required
- •Maximum: No cap, the more you deposit, the more bonus potential
Bonus Levels & Distribution
The deposit match rate is based on the total aggregate deposits of all participants:
- •Total deposits below $250 M → 1.0% bonus
- •Total deposits at least $250 M → 1.5% bonus
- •Total deposits reach $500 M → 2.0% bonus (promotion closes early)
Rewards will be credited in USDG within 14 days after the promotion ends.
Funds will be available for immediate spending on the Kraken platform, but locked from withdrawal for 12 months.
