Kraken is a US-based cryptocurrency exchange founded in 2011, offering spot and futures trading, staking, and other digital-asset services to retail and institutional clients across many countries. Its product set and availability depend on the user's jurisdiction.
The affiliate program pays a revenue share on referred clients' trading fees, with rates reaching up to 50% on spot and futures depending on negotiated terms and a commonly cited 20% base capped around $1,000 per client. It is administered through the Impact platform, uses a 180-day cookie with same-device same-browser attribution, has a $50 minimum payout, and pays monthly by bank wire. Kraken also offers CPA, flat placement, and hybrid deals for larger media partners, suiting comparison sites, media outlets, and traditional affiliates.
