Positive news for Kraken users in Japan-  Kraken has relaunched its Crypto trading as part of Asian Pacific expansion. 

Kraken was pulled from the country 2 years ago so anyone living in Japan now has another option when trading their Crypto.

The current offerings are Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, and Bitcoin Cash (JPY-denominated pairings.)

for the record, I'm a dumb - I've sent 0.5 XBT to USDT address that I have on Kraken. And they told me that there was a chance at some point their developers would be able to sweep their wallets. Anyway, I'm a long term Bitcoin investor and I don't know how many months or years it will take, but if it will be recovered in the future, it's OK. Kind regards.

Nine months have passed since that and the only person who can do this recovery is Jesse Powell (btcx).

Jesse, If you see this post could you help me? $11.5k usd equals to 40 minimum wages in my country.

He definitely isn't going to see this. If you @ him on Twitter there's a better chance, but I still wouldn't get your hopes up too much: https://twitter.com/jespow

Thank you for your recommendation. I am going to try to reach btcx on every channel.

I was holding 1 Bitcoin forever and 0,5 XBT is gone. It equals to $12,000 just for now but I will lose $50,000 when Bitcoin reach to $100,000.

I've seen Kraken recovered a customer's coins.

We are making an exception for his case, out of courtesy, just because we think it is a substantial amount of funds.

0.5 XBT is worth to recover, too. Come on guys, I need a favour just like this guy.

I would be really glad <3.

CAD book value seems to be lagging the USD value on Kraken by CAD $1500 presently.  Earlier today it was closer to CAD $2000 difference.  This doesn't make sense - there are certainly arbitrage bots out there and this a significant difference.  This is low-hanging fruit - sweet fruit!  How can it hang there all day?  Is it because there are no other exchanges dealing in CAD?

Have you ever heard about Port Roberts, Washington? I watched a documentary about it that said the border has been closed due to covid. I reckon arbitrage between USD and CAD is more difficult now because of that.

If you're speaking about Point Roberts, I have but I'm wondering about arbitrage rather than portage.

Edit:  there doesnt seem to be as large a differential now.  Good to see that!

Yeah I saw the withdrawal fee reduction, very welcome.

Still it would be great (for other exchanges too) if we could set it up ourselves (low if not in a rush, for example), or if it would be adapted to current mempool state.

Sorry but I have just a question: As you may have heard from others, I am one of these people, who forgot their setup key on "Google Authenticator" when I reset factory settings on my mobile phone. I also don´t have a Master Key. I filled in a form from their support and was giving them all the detailled informations but their reply was that they will send me an answer "directly to my mailbox on my kraken-account", to which I can´t log in.
Can anyone say, if the support will help me?

Oh, that moment I an email was sent to me from them.

[nerdfilms]

They´ve helped me within hours. I like Kraken!

Say what you want about Kraken, but you have to admit they are consistent. Market moves by more than 10%, Kraken servers die. Every. Single. Time.

It's nice to have things you can rely on...

[cesmak]

Probably is a problem of the instant function, i'm using the advance trade feature (reachable from trade.kraken.com) and in the last week in every high or down i bought or sold without any problem also in the moments where the market was in real fire, with a lot of transactions every second.

Never had a problem at all.

Kraken exchange will partially offset the losses of users affected by the sharp drop in the price of Ethereum at the beginning of the week.
On February 22, on Kraken, ETH price briefly fell from $1,700 to $700

The head of the exchange, Jess Powell, wrote that the fall in prices was caused by strong selling pressure. He also urged users not to trade with leverage if they do not understand the associated risks.

According to New Money Review, the company decided to reimburse the affected users.  The amount of compensation will vary from 5% to 50% of the lost amount.

Powell wrote on February 26 that the company would "shell out money out of its own pocket" to maintain its customer base.

I made a deposit via SEPA transfer some days ago. I can see the it on muy account, but it's "on hold" and I cannot use the money to trade. No answer from support yet. Anyone has had the same problem and can tell me how long does it usually take them to review and fix it? I have the intermediate level KYC btw.

Recovery of Bitcoin that sent to Tether address on Kraken

[Daltonik]

Bitcoin exchange Kraken is considering entering the stock market in 2022, its co-founder and CEO Jesse Powell confirmed in an interview with CNBC, the placement of shares of the largest US cryptocurrency company is scheduled for April 14  https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/08/bitcoin-coinbase-rival-kraken-may-go-public-via-direct-listing.html


In a monthly report, analysts of the Kraken exchange allowed bitcoin to grow more than $80,000, explaining that bitcoin closed March with a growth of more than 30%, adding more than 10% in price for six consecutive months. Since April was basically the second most positive month, we can expect that this time BTC will reach new heights  https://kraken.docsend.com/view/c289sas89ajfqktb




Kraken CEO Jesse Powell in an interview with foxbusiness spoke about the difficulties of regulation in the US and did not rule out the possible departure of the exchange to another country, the company is considering countries such as Japan, the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates. During the interview, Powell confirmed that Kraken is planning an IPO this year-following the widely anticipated listing of the Coinbase exchange. This is expected to happen in the second half of 2021. https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/kraken-ceo-confirms-public-offering-to-come-if-over-regulation-doesnt-force-the-platform-out-of-the-country

"We regularly communicate with the SEC and the CFDC. They are asking us to stop working with a number of products that they cannot ban from our foreign competitors. This puts US companies at a disadvantage"
