Kraken Expands to Stock Trading, Launches Premium Subscription
Kraken Expands to Stock Trading, Launches Premium Subscription
🤯 Stocks Meet Crypto
Kraken has expanded its services with several key announcements:
- Stock Trading Launch: Now offering commission-free trading of US stocks and ETFs in select states
- Kraken+ Subscription: New $4.99/month premium service includes:
- Zero fees on trades up to $10K/month
- Enhanced USDG rewards (4%+ APR vs standard 2%)
The exchange also partnered with Mastercard to enable crypto payments at over 150M merchants.
Any plans on creating a subscription model for fee rebates? That's one major reason I stick to Coinbase. I tend to recover the $300 spent on their subscription within a few weeks with their 25% trading fee rebates.
Kraken just became your all-in-one trading powerhouse 💪 You can now trade stocks, ETFs & crypto side by side — with zero commissions. Available in select U.S. states Learn more: kraken.com/stocks?utm_sou…
