The Kraken exchange offered users one of the most specific promotions in recent months. February Deposit Match is a campaign in which the platform adds 3% to each qualifying deposit – both in cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies. No levels, no asterisks in the fine print next to the rate. Flat 3% for everyone.
The promotion lasts until March 9, 2026 – there is really little time left.
How does it work – 3% deposit return on the Kraken exchange?
Example: you deposit USD 10,000 and do not touch the funds – you get a USD 300 bonus. The maximum deposit threshold for the promotion is USD 1,000,000, which gives a maximum bonus of USD 30,000.
The order of the steps is crucial
When recording, it is necessary to turn on the Auto-Earn function – this is a technical requirement, but after completing the recording you can safely turn it off. Deposits made before registering for the promotion are not taken into account. Zero exceptions.
Bank transfers (SEPA and others), cryptocurrency deposits and PayPal are eligible for the promotion. Outside the game, there are credit and debit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
The bonus is credited to your account within 14 days after the end of the campaign, but this is where the part begins that you need to think carefully about. The funds are blocked for 18 months (until September 9, 2027). You can trade them and use Kraken’s products, but you cannot withdraw them. Moreover, throughout this period you must maintain the balance at the level from which the bonus was calculated. If you withdraw funds and the balance falls below the required threshold, Kraken has the right to withdraw the bonus (so-called clawback).
Who does this really make sense for?
The promotion is designed for long-term investors. If you plan to transfer your capital to Kraken anyway, hold it for a year and actively trade – the 3% bonus is simply a free starting profit.
The deadline is March 9.
