Kraken Liquidity Provider Program: tier your rebates to your volume share, not a fixed number
TL;DR
Five-tier Liquidity Provider Program launches across Spot, Futures, and xStocks, with maker rebates up to -0.005% (Spot), -0.006% (Futures), and -0.020% (xStocks)
Share-based qualification: rolling 30-day Maker Contribution Share, not a fixed notional volume minimum
Credit line eligibility from LP 3, plus 2 exceptions per year and a 2-month grace period at launch
One tier ladder spans Spot, Futures, and xStocks; qualifying on either product independently unlocks your tier
Why we built this
Our institutional growth depends on liquidity depth across three product verticals: Spot, Futures, and xStocks. Deep, reliable liquidity is core market infrastructure, and infrastructure doesn’t build itself.

Fair value gap detection is now built into Kraken Desktop
TL;DR
Kraken Desktop now includes a native fair value gap (FVG) indicator — add it from the Analysis sidebar and it identifies every imbalance on any candle chart, with no third-party script to import or maintain.
Built-in filtering removes low-quality gaps by default, and every zone is scored Low, Medium, or High based on five objective checks including higher-timeframe agreement and volume.
Opt-in price-return alerts fire the moment price taps a zone: one per zone, no spam, off by default.
Inverse FVG (IFVG) detection and approximately 20 customization settings are included at launch.
If you trade with fair value gaps, the pitch is short: you already trust the concept. You probably just dislike maintaining the script.
