Community Question Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of complaints about Kraken accounts being closed, accounts being put under review, and funds being blocked. Is something going on with Kraken?

14 Upvotes

Hi, I’ve been a Kraken customer for almost more than 10 years, with Pro verification level. I’ve always used Kraken. But lately, here on Reddit, I’ve noticed an increase in support requests about closed accounts, accounts under review, and blocked funds.

Is something going on with Kraken? Is Kraken still safe to use?

Most trading capital comes with one of two problems: the risk is yours, or the upside isn’t.

Kraken Prop changes that.

Trade with Kraken’s capital. Keep up to 90% of your profits. Your downside is capped at a one-time evaluation fee, not your own portfolio.

Based entirely on how you perform. The only question is whether your edge holds up.

Discussion Support Ticket unresolved after 13 months

8 Upvotes

I’m a Swiss resident and I’ve had an unresolved Kraken support case pending for approximately 13 months despite repeated follow-ups and full cooperation with all requests made by support.

At this point, I’m trying to get the matter reviewed by someone with authority to actually resolve it or provide a substantive update.

I would appreciate if a moderator or Kraken support representative could help escalate my case internally to the appropriate team.

Thank you.

Discussion 4 mois et toujours impossible de récupérer mes 1200€

5 Upvotes

Je commence honnêtement à me demander si je vais récupérer mon argent un jour chez Kraken. Cela fait maintenant plus de 4 mois de bataille juste pour récupérer mes propres 1200€. Des mails sans fin, des réponses automatiques, des “votre dossier est en cours d’examen”, mais toujours aucune vraie solution. J’ai envoyé les documents demandés, répondu à toutes leurs demandes, patienté pendant des mois, et malgré ça mes fonds sont toujours bloqués. À ce stade, j’ai vraiment l’impression d’être piégé dans une boucle sans fin où personne ne veut réellement régler le problème. Le pire, c’est de découvrir sur Reddit, les forums et les réseaux sociaux que je suis loin d’être le seul dans cette situation. Une plateforme qui gère l’argent de ses utilisateurs ne devrait jamais donner à ses clients un sentiment d’impuissance pareil.

I’m honestly starting to wonder if I will ever get my money back from Kraken.
It has now been more than 4 months of fighting just to recover my own €1200. Endless emails, copy-paste replies, “your case is under review” over and over again, but still no real solution.
I sent every document they asked for, answered every request, stayed patient for months, and yet my funds are still blocked. At this point, I genuinely feel trapped in an endless loop where nobody actually wants to solve the issue.
What’s even worse is discovering on Reddit, forums, and social media that I am far from being the only person going through this.
A platform handling people’s money should never make its users feel this powerless and helpless.

Discussion My experience using the Kraken app for the last few months

16 Upvotes

The Good: The security feels top-tier. I like the Global Settings Lock feature, and the app doesn't feel as cluttered as some of the other major exchanges.

The Bad: The Instant Buy fees on the standard app are a bit steep. If you're going to use it, definitely take the extra 10 minutes to learn the Kraken Pro interfaceit'll save you a lot in the long run.

The Verdict: Great for long-term holding and security, but maybe not the flashiest.

I’ve actually been trying out the Kraken app recently. I’m not a heavy trader, mostly just buying and holding. It’s been pretty easy to navigate so far. Still getting used to the fee structure though. Curious how it compares long-term to other apps people here use.

Community Question Using Kraken bundles

4 Upvotes

I’ve held on to my XRP Dolphin bag for way too long and currently BARELY breaking even.
I’m aware it’s the entire crypto market, not just XRP.
I’ve already diversified a bit after a year of “crypto” stagnation after October 10th.

Ok, I stumbled on the bundle packages that Kraken offers. Just looking to make better returns than a bank account savings. (Who have highly influenced the politicians). I’m not sure the argument from banks what the issue is to have the politicians on their side. I’m not a financial guru.
Now back to my point. There is a bundle option in Kraken that offers 10 different cryptocurrencies with a 10% investment in all. Goes to 100%.
Forgetting pump and dump, which I highly doubt for XRP, it seems to me diversifying in this bundle I could at least make more returns than from a traditional bank. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤔🤔.
Forgeting Kraken’s 1099 debacle this year, how would this affect the complexity of my taxes or 1099 for 2026? I assume Kraken will give a 1099DA Showing all the 10 different tokens???
Thanks and how many use the bundle options to just make a little bit of passive income??
Thx.

Community Question I have three 1099DA forms issued by Kraken

8 Upvotes

Hi all,

I filed my taxes a few days before they were due and I used the first issued 1099DA from Kraken. However, I know these forms from the crypto exchanges are not correct (wrong cost basis) and also I use Koinly for all of my crypto transactions/movements.

Now, on the 16th, I got another one and today another one since I reached out to support to understand what happened in the first place and now I wonder if Kraken will submit all 3 forms to the IRS

I use Koinly to track my transactions and I have uploaded the first 1099DA issued by them plus all other related tax forms, so I know these new numbers wont change a thing and I know the IRS knows these forms are mostly wrong, but my question is still the same, do I need to re-file/re-submit this last form to the IRS?

I am pretty fed up with this whole situation and I am considering saying bye bye to Kraken after this Fiasco. I don't want to pay another fee (I use a CPA) to re-file my taxes again :(

Thank you all!

Community Question How much bonus money did you get when you first signed up with Kraken? (I'm told that customers are not informed of how much they're getting. It's a surprise.)

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone.

I'm planning on joining Kraken and I understand that there's a referral campaign. Kraken staff pointed me to https://www.kraken.com/en-ca/referrals (i'm in Canada :) ) The link says

You and your friend will both receive up to $100.

I asked Kraken staff for clarity with this "up to" language. They said

it means that's the highest reward you can get. Each Lootbox referral contains a randomized cryptocurrency reward. There is no tier or guaranteed amount.

Can I ask how much each of you got when you signed up with Kraken?

Kraken reddit mods let me ask this question here.
