Welcome to the primary version of a month-to-month take a look at what units the Kraken VIP expertise aside.
What’s new
Safety analyst periods
The folks focusing on crypto accounts aren’t opportunists. They function like companies: organized, data-driven, and protracted. A high-value account is a high-value goal, and generic safety recommendation doesn’t minimize it.
That’s why we’ve launched Safety Analyst Periods for VIP shoppers: a non-public, one-to-one evaluate with a member of Kraken’s safety group, constructed round your particular setup and never a guidelines.
These periods cowl account safety settings (Grasp Key, Funding 2FA, International Settings Lock), authentication strategies from SMS by way of to {hardware} keys, electronic mail and gadget safety, and a plain-English walk-through of how fashionable assaults really work. Phishing. Malware. Social engineering. Account takeover. The form of stuff that’s simpler to defend towards when you perceive the way it operates.
This is among the most sensible issues we will provide a VIP consumer, and we’re glad it’s now a proper a part of this system.

From Melbourne to Amsterdam: the human aspect of VIP
The previous few months took our group and our shoppers to 3 very completely different corners of the world.
Australian Open: Melbourne
We hosted a bunch of VIP shoppers on the males’s ultimate, beginning with dinner at a waterfront restaurant on the Yarra River earlier than heading to the sector. What struck us most wasn’t the match; it was the dialog on the desk. Purchasers bought onto the topic of funding challenges with Australian banks (an actual frustration, and a shared one), and what began as a commiseration changed into a sensible, sincere dialogue about how Kraken might assist. One consumer who was launched to our OTC desk throughout occasion planning later shared extraordinarily optimistic suggestions and plans to deliver their full FX enterprise to Kraken. Their friends left impressed to achieve VIP-level exercise themselves.
That’s the factor about getting folks round a desk: the conversations that matter are likely to occur naturally.
Tremendous Bowl: San Francisco
Ten VIP shoppers and 4 friends joined us for a full weekend. The Saturday arrival dinner was at a Chinese language restaurant, chosen by considered one of our VIPs. Sunday was breakfast on the lodge, natural introductions, and shoppers discovering their very own rhythm earlier than we’d even made it to the stadium.
The pre-game tent grew to become a hub for the form of conversations you don’t schedule: margin, OTC, prediction markets, referrals, and a good quantity of real pleasure in regards to the sport itself. Contained in the stadium, the standing-room space subsequent to the bar changed into a pure gathering level, and shoppers bonded over the halftime present as a lot as anything. By the post-game burger run, the group had stopped feeling like a hosted occasion and began feeling like a neighborhood.
That peer-to-peer connection is one thing we will’t manufacture. We will solely create the situations for it.
GLORY Kickboxing: Amsterdam
Our first VIP occasion within the area: a two-day expertise constructed round a Michelin-star Chef’s Desk dinner at The Duchess on Friday and a full GLORY SuperFights and Foremost Card expertise on Saturday, with a non-public switch to Arnhem and VIP lounge entry.
The small group format (three shoppers) meant the Friday dinner conversations went deep, and the environment on Saturday was genuinely electrical. We additionally heard sincere suggestions: some shoppers expressed a choice for one-to-one meetups, and some raised issues round anonymity at group occasions. We’re taking that significantly. One of the best factor a couple of small program is that suggestions loops are quick, and we’re already fascinated about how the format evolves from right here.
What shoppers are telling us
We ran our Q1 2026 NPS survey throughout VIP shoppers in dozens of nations. Responses got here in throughout 5 languages, with 97% of respondents saying they wish to keep in this system.
However the numbers aren’t the story. The story is within the feedback. Purchasers point out their Relationship Managers by identify – not their function, their identify. A number of described their Relationship Supervisor as the rationale they moved to Kraken from one other trade, or the rationale they felt secure on an trade after a troublesome expertise elsewhere. One consumer put it merely: ‘Private contact in an age of digital bots.’
What’s coming
The pipeline for the remainder of the 12 months is substantial. A VIP wine retreat for choose shoppers. F1 hospitality all through the season. Wimbledon Tennis. A behind-the-scenes day with the Atlassian Williams F1 Group, designed particularly for VIPs who wish to deliver their youngsters. Regional neighborhood dinners nearer to dwelling for shoppers who haven’t been capable of be part of us at main occasions but. Conferences and business occasions. And masses extra.
On the product aspect: VIP yield alternatives with higher charges and extra flexibility are in growth, and the VIP Portal in Kraken Professional is getting significant upgrades, together with Relationship Supervisor verification in-app. We’re additionally constructing a non-public VIP neighborhood house the place shoppers can join with one another and with the Kraken group immediately.
