Kraken’s Ongoing Efforts to Enhance Market Efficiency through Expanding Maker Fee Incentive Structure

Coming soon: 64 new spot pairs join our maker fee incentive structure, with more on the way!

In a move to further incentivize deeper liquidity and improve market efficiency, Kraken is set to add an impressive 64 new eligible spot trading pairs to its maker fee incentive structure in Kraken Pro. This significant expansion comes as part of the exchange’s ongoing efforts to boost market efficiency and create better opportunities for traders.

The original maker fee incentive structure, launched in late June, has already shown promising results in encouraging deeper liquidity on select lower-liquidity pairs. To take it to the next level, we will be extending this initiative to a significantly expanded list of spot trading pairs.

As part of this enhancement, any new pair listed on Kraken Pro from August 1st onwards will automatically become eligible for the maker fee schedule, with the primary objective of kick-starting liquidity and narrowing spreads on these newly added pairs.
