What’s new
Safety analyst classes
The individuals concentrating on crypto accounts aren’t opportunists. They function like companies: organized, data-driven, and chronic. A high-value account is a high-value goal, and generic safety recommendation doesn’t reduce it.

These classes cowl account safety settings (Grasp Key, Funding 2FA, International Settings Lock), authentication strategies from SMS by way of to {hardware} keys, electronic mail and machine safety, and a plain-English walk-through of how trendy assaults really work. Phishing. Malware. Social engineering. Account takeover. The form of stuff that’s simpler to defend in opposition to when you perceive the way it operates.
This is likely one of the most sensible issues we are able to provide a VIP shopper, and we’re glad it’s now a proper a part of this system.

From Melbourne to Amsterdam: the human aspect of VIP
The previous few months took our staff and our purchasers to 3 very completely different corners of the world.
Australian Open: Melbourne
We hosted a bunch of VIP purchasers on the males’s closing, beginning with dinner at a waterfront restaurant on the Yarra River earlier than heading to the world. What struck us most wasn’t the match; it was the dialog on the desk. Purchasers acquired onto the topic of funding challenges with Australian banks (an actual frustration, and a shared one), and what began as a commiseration was a sensible, sincere dialogue about how Kraken might assist. One shopper who was launched to our OTC desk throughout occasion planning later shared extraordinarily constructive suggestions and plans to convey their full FX enterprise to Kraken. Their company left impressed to achieve VIP-level exercise themselves.
That’s the factor about getting individuals round a desk: the conversations that matter are inclined to occur naturally.
Tremendous Bowl: San Francisco
Ten VIP purchasers and 4 company joined us for a full weekend. The Saturday arrival dinner was at a Chinese language restaurant, chosen by considered one of our VIPs. Sunday was breakfast on the resort, natural introductions, and purchasers discovering their very own rhythm earlier than we’d even made it to the stadium.
The pre-game tent grew to become a hub for the form of conversations you don’t schedule: margin, OTC, prediction markets, referrals, and a good quantity of real pleasure concerning the sport itself. Contained in the stadium, the standing-room space subsequent to the bar was a pure gathering level, and purchasers bonded over the halftime present as a lot as anything. By the post-game burger run, the group had stopped feeling like a hosted occasion and began feeling like a neighborhood.
That peer-to-peer connection is one thing we are able to’t manufacture. We will solely create the situations for it.
GLORY Kickboxing: Amsterdam
Our first VIP occasion within the area: a two-day expertise constructed round a Michelin-star Chef’s Desk dinner at The Duchess on Friday and a full GLORY SuperFights and Foremost Card expertise on Saturday, with a non-public switch to Arnhem and VIP lounge entry.
The small group format (three purchasers) meant the Friday dinner conversations went deep, and the ambiance on Saturday was genuinely electrical. We additionally heard sincere suggestions: some purchasers expressed a choice for one-to-one meetups, and some raised considerations round anonymity at group occasions. We’re taking that critically. The perfect factor a few small program is that suggestions loops are quick, and we’re already eager about how the format evolves from right here.
What purchasers are telling us
We ran our Q1 2026 NPS survey throughout VIP purchasers in dozens of nations. Responses got here in throughout 5 languages, with 97% of respondents saying they wish to keep in this system.
However the numbers aren’t the story. The story is within the feedback. Purchasers point out their Relationship Managers by title – not their function, their title. A number of described their Relationship Supervisor as the rationale they moved to Kraken from one other alternate, or the rationale they felt secure on an alternate after a tough expertise elsewhere. One shopper put it merely: ‘Private contact in an age of digital bots.’
What’s coming
The pipeline for the remainder of the yr is substantial. A VIP wine retreat for choose purchasers. F1 hospitality all through the season. Wimbledon Tennis. A behind-the-scenes day with the Atlassian Williams F1 Workforce, designed particularly for VIPs who wish to convey their kids. Regional neighborhood dinners nearer to residence for purchasers who haven’t been in a position to be part of us at main occasions but. Conferences and trade occasions. And hundreds extra.
On the product aspect: VIP yield alternatives with higher charges and extra flexibility are in improvement, and the VIP Portal in Kraken Professional is getting significant upgrades, together with Relationship Supervisor verification in-app. We’re additionally constructing a non-public VIP neighborhood area the place purchasers can join with one another and with the Kraken staff immediately.
