06What to know before you start

Grille totalement refondue le 9 juillet 2026 : palier Kraken Pro désormais basé sur LE MEILLEUR de (volume 30j OU actifs détenus sur la plateforme), et le palier de base est plus cher qu'avant (0,40 %/0,80 % contre 0,25 %/0,40 % précédemment). Kraken+ (abonnement ~5 $/mois) supprime les frais d'Instant Buy/Sell jusqu'à 10 000 $/mois mais pas le spread, et ne s'applique jamais à Kraken Pro.

Compensation transparency: affiliate partnership with Kraken: À l'étude. A partnership has no influence on ranking or the default sort order (see Methodology).
