Kraken Launches VIP Program Setting New Benchmark for Ultra High Net Worth Crypto Service

CHEYENNE, Wyo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kraken, one of the world’s longest-standing, most liquid, and most secure crypto platforms, today announced the public launch of Kraken VIP, an invitation-only program tailored for Ultra High Net Worth individuals, sophisticated traders and strategic capital allocators.

“Ultra high-net-worth clients don’t come to us for speed alone - they come to us because they expect a partner who matches their ambition and understands what true scale looks like. Kraken VIP was built for them,” said Arjun Sethi, Kraken’s Co-CEO.

Share

Originally developed in 2018 and refined through a private pilot, Kraken VIP brings together elevated client service and extraordinary experiences into one comprehensive program. After strong results across client engagement, retention, and long-term client value, Kraken is now opening its VIP program more broadly to the market.

Setting a New Benchmark for High-Value Service

Kraken VIP is designed for clients who value discretion, precision, and depth of relationship — and who expect their platform to match the scale and seriousness of their capital. The program combines privacy-first design with meaningful, experience-led engagement to deliver a level of service rarely seen in the digital asset space. The offering includes:

Dedicated Relationship Management

Each member is paired with a specialist VIP Relationship Manager, backed by 24/7 support, direct multichannel access, and early insight into Kraken’s full product ecosystem. VIPs also receive access to Kraken subject-matter experts spanning product, engineering, liquidity, custody and infrastructure, providing insight to power their trading experience.

Global Experiences

Through Kraken’s partnerships and global networks, VIPs gain access to extraordinary experiences, spanning from Formula 1 and elite football, to private cultural events and intimate regional meet-ups not available to the general public. These experiences create high-value connections both with Kraken and the broader VIP community.

Access to a Private Network of Leaders

Kraken VIP connects members to a global circle of founders, allocators, family offices and long-tenured crypto natives. This private network enables the exchange of insights, the exploration of new opportunities and the formation of long-term relationships built on sophistication and aligned crypto conviction.

Early Product Access & Influence

Members receive early access to new features, private beta invitations, and structured feedback sessions that allow VIPs to directly shape the products driving Kraken’s ecosystem.

Premium Service & Engagement Benefits

VIPs enjoy tailored onboarding, 1:1 strategic analyst sessions, milestone recognition, seasonal gifting, curated product tours, direct feedback channels, and bespoke “surprise and delight” moments designed to reinforce their importance to Kraken.

“Ultra high-net-worth clients don’t come to us for speed alone - they come to us because they expect a partner who matches their ambition and understands what true scale looks like. Kraken VIP was built for them. It offers unprecedented access, influence, and an elevated experience that doesn’t exist anywhere else in the digital asset ecosystem,” said Arjun Sethi, Kraken’s Co-CEO. “Kraken VIP defines the future of premium crypto service.”

Membership to Kraken VIP is offered through:

  • Qualification based on ecosystem activity: $10M average balance on platform or $80M in annual trading volume,* application review for prospective members and select referrals
