Kraken Prop Brings Funded Crypto Trading Into Kraken Pro

Kraken Prop launched inside Kraken Pro, giving experienced crypto traders a new route to larger buying power after a paid evaluation. Traders prove their skill under defined risk rules, then gain access to external capital if they qualify.

The program targets traders who already know the platform's order book and margin tools. It works like a traditional prop firm challenge: a trader pays an entry fee, trades within set loss limits and profit targets, and receives a funded account if they clear the hurdle. Kraken handles the capital side, so the trader never puts their own principal at risk beyond the evaluation fee.

Kraken Pro is the exchange's advanced trading interface, built for spot and futures traders who need depth-of-book data and low-latency execution. Adding a funded channel inside that environment means traders can skip the step of moving between a separate prop firm and their exchange account. The evaluation, the payout, and the trading all live in one login.
