Kraken publishes separate fee schedules for spot and derivatives markets. Maker-taker pricing applies to both: limit orders that add liquidity qualify for maker rates, while market orders pay taker rates. VIP tiers reward higher monthly volume with progressively lower fees.
Before trading on Kraken, confirm current rates on their official fee page. Promotions, new listings, and regional products can carry different fees. Our data is compiled from publicly available schedules and updated when exchanges change published rates.
Compare Kraken with alternatives using our side-by-side comparison tools or the rankings on our spot and futures hub pages. Even small fee differences compound for active traders and algorithmic strategies.
