Kraken has introduced its Market Participation Program, offering equity warrants to high-volume institutional clients who provide liquidity on the exchange.
Program Structure
The initiative rewards eligible institutional traders with warrants exercisable for Kraken common stock—what the company calls a first among Tier 1 crypto exchanges. Participation is limited to clients meeting specific volume, compliance, and activity thresholds.
Strategic Goals
Kraken says the program aims to:
- Deepen market liquidity
- Improve pricing efficiency
- Align institutional client interests with the exchange’s growth
- Support broader market participation
How It Works
Qualified clients contribute liquidity through sustained trading activity. In return, they receive equity-linked incentives tied to Kraken’s long-term valuation. The exchange describes this as a transparent, rule-based framework subject to regular compliance reviews.
Market Impact
By linking rewards to actual equity rather than fee rebates, Kraken positions the program as foundational to its institutional strategy. The company frames it as the first step in a broader liquidity initiative designed to strengthen market quality across its platform.
Interested institutions can contact their Kraken relationship manager or the exchange’s institutional team for eligibility details.
