Kraken Pro: Buy & Trade Crypto 4+

Probably the best app that people from the US can use. Much better than Coinbase, though Coinbase’s offerings are improving. Not nearly as good as real Binance or Kucoin. Much better than the crappy US version of Binance or FTX. For someone from the US, this is probably the best out of the bad options since we have a government that is trying to stifle financial innovation and an SEC head that doesn’t know crypto from a hole in the ground. The worst part of this app is that the good crypto isn’t available like CFG and GLMR. But that’s more Gensler’s fault than Kraken. Maybe someday the US Goverment will wake up and realize that the decentralized economy will happen with or without us and, basically, we are going to get left in the dust while all the opportunities materialize in other countries. If we had some reasonable laws that gave Americans access to the deepest liquidity and lifted restrictions on airdrops and other financial opportunities, at least for accredited investors at the bare minimum, then that only gives us a chance of success in the new economy, not even a guarantee, just a fighting chance instead of no chance at all. The US cannot stop crypto, they can only make sure that all the best crypto opportunities happen to non-Americans and make sure that Americans are neither competitive nor successful.

As a user from the USA but living abroad the number of Exchanges that will register AND also work smoothly are shockingly few. I tried 12 different exchanges and only 4 were successful to register, of those, Kraken Pro was the only one with a pleasant user experience. Swan and BitcoinWell are appealing BTC only exchanges, but both had glitches or regulations that did not live up to their advertisement. Coinbase was the other exchange I compared and it was similar to Kraken. Their use of USDC with interest was appealing (as Kraken can’t offer that currently to US users), and their (free) Advanced Trade mode was a big improvement over the “regular” fees. But then I discovered that Kraken has the PRO App for free as well, and it is hands down the better UI and better fees. Kraken Pro: 0.25% Limit buy fees (vs. 0.6% on CB) and free Lightning transfer (or flat 20k sats BTC transfer fee). I don’t know why anyone would use the “regular” App, and it seems a bit of a charade for Coinbase and Kraken to have two versions like this, but those who research are rewarded. Kraken for the win.

Hey there jaggner! We're delighted to read your detailed review, this means everything to us. We appreciate you researching our products and choosing whats best for you and your needs. Thank you for the 5-stars! Take Care, 🐙

The app and the trading section or the website are great. I moved to this exchange because it has overall almost all the coins I want. Very user friendly interface and has 2FA support. Fees are not the best but also not the worst on the market. They are middle of the road. I’ll leave what exchange I came from undisclosed. Reason it’s not a 5 star review: 1. No direct transfer. Only offers wire or coin transfers. Really would like this implemented. 2. The website (not trading section) could be organized a little more to asset management, etc. The trading page is great though with allot of customization options. Honestly this is not a big deal as the app is very good. Enhancement suggestions: 1. Widget support. Would be nice to have a favorites widget in the app. 2. iPad native app: Would be nice but not a big deal as you can just favorite the trading page on safari to your Home Screen and it serves pretty much as a native app.

Hello Slain, we have just added the widget feature to our app! Simply update to the recent version (v2.1) and now you will be able to see the market prices of the assets on your watchlist at the home screen. Let us know what you think!
