Through the Kraken API Partner Program, platforms can enable access to:

• xStocks for tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs

All trading activity is powered by Kraken’s infrastructure, giving platforms access to:

• Deep liquidity across crypto and xStocks spot and futures markets
• High-throughput APIs built for low-latency trading environments

The Kraken API Partner Program is designed to create long-term alignment between Kraken and the platforms building on its infrastructure.

As an API Partner, Kraken offers a tiered commission framework reflecting the enhanced connectivity and added-value tools your platform provides to users.

Commission tiers recognize the depth of platform integration and the quality of the user experience delivered, including analytical tools, portfolio management features, and multi-venue access capabilities. Partners benefit from a transparent, long-term commercial arrangement with no fixed term limitations on commission eligibility.

Note: API Partner tiered commissions apply to new integrations only. Apply now to be part of the program from launch.

In addition to market access and commission opportunities, the Kraken API Partner Program is designed to support growth through stronger visibility and closer alignment.

Partners also gain access to:

• A real-time partner dashboard for tracking performance and paid commissions
• Joint marketing campaigns and co-branded initiatives
• Dedicated account manager with 24/7/365 support
