KRAKEN LAUNCHES HIGH-TOUCH VIP PROGRAM

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Kraken launched an invitation-only VIP program that requires $10 million average balances or $80 million annual trading volume, pairing ultra-high-net-worth clients with dedicated relationship managers that provide 24/7 support, subject-matter expert access, and exclusive Formula 1, football, and cultural experiences ahead of its early 2026 US IPO. The high-touch service competes with Binance's recent "prestige" offering for clients up to $10 million net worth as exchanges fill the wealth management gap for family offices and sophisticated traders.
