Kraken fees, read 2026-11-10. The Kraken Pro tiers now sit on their own page, https://www.kraken.com/pro/fees ("Maker and taker fees for spot and futures across all 17 Kraken Pro volume tiers"); the fee schedule (https://www.kraken.com/features/fee-schedule) no longer prints the table. Spot maker / taker: "Tier 1 ($0+ spot or $0+ fut.) Maker Taker Spot 0.40% 0.80%"; "Tier 2 ($2.5K+ spot or $5M+ fut.) Maker Taker Spot 0.30% 0.60%"; "Tier 3 ($10K+ spot or $10M+ fut.) Maker Taker Spot 0.22% 0.38%"; "Tier 12 ($10M+ spot or $300M+ fut.) Maker Taker Spot 0.00% 0.10%"; "Tier 17 ($500M+ spot or >$5B fut.) Maker Taker Spot 0.00% 0.05%"; a tier is reached by 30-day spot volume, 30-day futures volume or assets on the platform. New on that page: "Eligible discounted pairs -0.02% off the selected spot pairs below. Applies across all Kraken Pro fee tiers." Instant buy/sell, the default app surface (fee schedule page): "Kraken charges a 1% trading fee on instant and recurring trades and a 1.5% fee on custom orders. Small instant trades carry a fee of up to $2 instead of the 1% fee. All trading fees are waived for Kraken+ members on trading volume up to $10,000 per month (details below)." plus a spread the page discloses without a number: "the price you see includes a spread, the difference between the market rate and the rate you receive." and "Note: While trading fees are waived, spreads and card processing fees still apply." Small-balance conversion: "a fixed 3% fee applies to amounts below the minimum order size." Crypto withdrawals are now a per-asset table on the Pro fees page ("Withdrawal and deposit fees for the crypto assets available on Kraken Pro."), for example Bitcoin "0.000015 BTC", Ethereum "0.00017 ETH" and USDT on Ethereum "0.7698 USDT"; the fee schedule adds "Fees displayed upon confirmation of a transaction are always the fees incurred by clients."
