  Kraken Funded — can someone explain this? I’ve been experiencing unusually fast losses on my Funded accounts, so I started documenting the pricing. These two screenshots were taken at 6:00 PM — same token, KAITO, inside Kraken. Regular Kraken: $0.7211 Kraken Funded: $0.7008 That’s about a 2.8% difference at the exact same time. Earlier today I documented even larger discrepancies of roughly 8–9%. When a Funded Challenge has strict maximum-loss limits, these price differences can have a major impact on whether an account survives. This has happened repeatedly over several days and across two of my Funded accounts. I’ve contacted Kraken Support and asked for a formal investigation. I have timestamped screenshots documenting everything. I’d like an explanation of what price feed Kraken Funded is using and why it differs this substantially from Kraken’s own displayed market price. @krakenfx Please investigate and rectify this.

  Some thoughts on Nado and Ink No price calls from me. The market will handle that on TGE. What I like structurally: Nado has no token of its own. Points convert into INK, the token of the chain itself. For me that changes what you're actually valuing. You're not looking at one dex token, you're looking at a network asset with a real customer behind it. The backer is @krakenfx, one of the oldest US exchanges, around $1.7b raised, $20b valuation, IPO on the table. And yes, 'strong backer ≠ strong token' - is fair in general. But pre-IPO changes the math a bit. Reputation costs more in that window, especially in the US. Not a guarantee, but it is a real incentive 👌 What matters more to me is that Ink already has real flow, not roadmap talk. Kraken DeFi Earn went live in January and that USDC goes on-chain into Ink. It's money from exchange clients, not from the farming crowd. Different money. On the Polymarket odds > look at the volume on those markets. Tens, maybe a few hundred k. That is not the kind of liquidity you build an fdv take on. Not bullish, not bearish, just noise. That's my take on @nadoHQ I farm pts there and I trade there. IYKYK 🫡

  @krakenfx Today: placed HYPE orders, platform showed zero confirmation. Retried, same. 1h later I get notified duplicates were processed. 2h later balance still shows all fiat, 0 HYPE. Chat says an agent replies in OVER A DAY. A top exchange with no order status and no support?!

  Why @HyperliquidX Should Acquire Gemini: The Regulated HIP-3/4 Deployer in the US Hyperliquid is engaging with the CFTC/SEC to enable U.S.-regulated companies to offer perpetual futures that trade and settle on its public blockchain. I think Hyperliquid should take that ambition one step further: Acquire a regulated U.S. platform like Gemini and turn it into the de facto regulated HIP-3 and HIP-4 venue in the U.S. Gemini went public in September 2025 at a $3.3B valuation. Today, it trades at roughly $450M, down more than 85% from its IPO valuation. The core business is clearly struggling. Gemini is too small to compete effectively with the major U.S. exchanges for spot or derivatives flow. It has no meaningful liquidity moat and limited crypto-native distribution. The company has already started diversifying toward its credit card and prediction markets businesses. More telling is that Gemini is in outright shrinking mode. It has wound down its UK, EU, and Australia operations, cut headcount roughly 40% from peak to about 402 employees, and guided to lower compensation and technology spend for the year. Assets on platform fell from $18.2B to $8.4B year over year and spot volume dropped 66%. This is a company retreating to its core and cutting burn. But what looks like a challenged standalone business could be a strategic asset at a fire-sale price. For roughly $450M, Hyperliquid could acquire Gemini's entire U.S. regulatory stack, which I think could be worth ~$200M on its own: - NYDFS Trust Charter: custody + New York exchange authority (2015) - DCM: Gemini Titan, CFTC-regulated derivatives venue (Dec. 2025) - DCO: Gemini Olympus, CFTC clearing license (Apr. 2026) - FCM: in progress, completing the CFTC derivatives stack - MTLs: money-transmitter licenses across nearly all U.S. states - Broker-dealer: rails for regulated equities For context, @krakenfx's parent paid up to $550M for Bitnomial, effectively acquiring a regulatory and derivatives infrastructure asset with little operating business attached. Gemini's entire market cap is now below that. Yes, Hyperliquid would inherit a business currently losing roughly $30–40M per quarter operationally. But it would also acquire a meaningful operating footprint: - 580K monthly transacting users (Q2'26) - 1.72M lifetime transacting users - $8.4B of assets on platform - $3.8B quarterly spot volume - $3.1B institutional / -= $0.7B retail - $45.5M quarterly revenue, or ~$180M annualized - 106K active card users - ~$485M quarterly card spend and ~$220M of receivables - A regulated prediction-markets business with 27K+ traders and 225M+ contracts since launch At a $450M valuation, that's roughly $290 per funded customer. For comparison, @Robinhoodapp paid roughly $400 per funded customer for Bitstamp, despite acquiring about half the revenue and no comparable U.S. federal license stack. Kraken paid roughly $790 per funded user for NinjaTrader. And Gemini's users already hold an average of roughly $14.5K of assets on platform. In other words, you could argue that the regulatory stack alone goes a long way toward underwriting the purchase price, while the users, assets, revenue, card business, and prediction markets come on top. The most interesting part is that Hyperliquid could potentially finance the acquisition without touching a single burned HYPE token. The community reserve holds roughly 389M HYPE. Spending ~7.9M HYPE at $70 would represent approximately $550M — just 2.0% of the reserve, under 1% of max supply, and roughly 3% of HYPE's ~$18.5B circulating market cap — enough to acquire Gemini outright at a ~20% premium to its current market cap. Hyperliquid could then redirect a portion of protocol buybacks toward rebuilding the reserve. At the current fee run rate, the reserve could potentially be replenished within 12–18 months. The strategic logic is bigger than simply buying an exchange. Hyperliquid would be buying the regulatory bridge between HIP-3/4 and the U.S. market. Gemini could become one of Hyperliquid's HIP-3 and HIP-4 markets, the regulated U.S. deployer, handling KYC, custody, fiat rails, brokerage, clearing, and compliance while the L1 provides the underlying market infrastructure, liquidity, and onchain settlement. Mechanically, this transaction is far simpler than most public-company M&A. Gemini's dual-class structure gives Class B shares ten votes each, and the Winklevoss twins hold all of them, roughly 94.7% of total voting power. It is a Nasdaq-designated controlled company. There is no proxy fight, no activist interloper, no drawn-out process. Board approval and a majority of voting power both run through two people. The entire negotiation is whether Cameron and Tyler want to convert a controlling stake in a declining exchange into a meaningful HYPE position and the distinction of bringing Hyperliquid onshore. On structure, the buyer wouldn't be the protocol or the foundation directly. NYDFS probabl wants a US entity with named officers, not an offshore foundation. The path is a Delaware HoldCo, funded by the Hyper Foundation but legally distinct, that acquires Gemini and keeps the regulated subsidiaries intact. The L1 stays a separate permissionless layer that never touches a US customer. Polymarket already ran this playbook. Offshore, non-KYC, with a CFTC settlement on its record, it bought QCEX (a licensed DCM/DCO) for $112M in July 2025, ring-fenced it as a US entity, and relaunched onshore in December. Hyperliquid starts from a better position: no enforcement history, US users geofenced, and active dialogue with both agencies. Hyperliquid generates substantial cash flow and sits on an enormous treasury. It should be much more aggressive about deploying both strategically. let's stop the buy back and burns and play offense.

  How @krakenfx is "entering" the Ukrainian market: lure users with a ~1,000,000 UAH ($24k) prize pool, get them to complete KYC, deposit funds, and generate trading volume... only to announce ZERO winners and pay out $0 🤡 📸 Image 1 (Telegram Support): Users specifically asked Kraken Support if the required follower threshold was combined across all platforms or per channel. Support explicitly confirmed: "It refers to the TOTAL number of followers across ALL Kraken Ukraine platforms combined (IG, TikTok, Threads, TG)." 📸 Image 2 (Official Blog Rules): To qualify for the 1M UAH prize pool, Kraken required users to: • Pass KYC verification • Fill out the form • Deposit $100+ • Generate $200+ spot or $1,000+ futures trading volume. Ukrainians brought liquidity and paid trading fees to Kraken. 📸 Image 3 (Instagram Story): On results day, @krakenfx_ua posts: "Campaign finished - conditions were not met, so there are NO WINNERS." And the absolute audacity? In the EXACT same story, they pivot to plug another campaign that was already running ("Independence Tournament is ongoing, conditions are easier, go join!"). So Kraken collected user KYC data, deposits, and trading fees, contradicted their own official support, paid out $0, and shamelessly shilled an ongoing promo to milk even more volume. Is this gross marketing incompetence or a blatant bait-and-switch? Care to explain @krakenfx ?

  After helping Kraken team directly with their UX/UI for 4 hours on their options product they thank me by putting my account in reduce only mode since I am travelling abroad from my home city which is New York City. Now that my account is in reduce only mode I am trying to reduce and am being blocked from doing the very action they restricted me to. There is NO SUPPORT at all. Only robots that go into loops. @krakenfx @krakenpro fix this now.

  Hey @askkraken @krakenfx — tried out the Krak app on the App Store to test the ecosystem. Deposited via ACH a week ago, and it STILL shows $0.00 spendable, blocking me from moving funds over to Kraken Pro. ​What’s the point of a consumer app if internal liquidity is locked in a silo for 7 days? Fix this deposit lockup.

  I’ve been using Kraken for a long time, and I always assumed it was a reliable exchange because of its reputation. But after my recent experiences, I’m honestly extremely disappointed with Kraken’s customer support. Their live chat support is frustrating. You can wait a long time just to get an agent, explain the entire issue, and then be told: “Your case has been forwarded to our email support team. They will get back to you.” If live chat can’t resolve even simple issues and everything is pushed to email support, what is the purpose of having live chat? Recently, I accidentally deposited USDT instead of USDC into my Kraken account. The deposit is visible in my account but hasn’t been credited. I contacted live support, provided all the requested information, and was told that the case had been escalated to the email team. It has now been several days with no meaningful update. What makes this even more frustrating is that Kraken’s own terms say USDT deposits and withdrawals are supported for EEA clients, even though USDT cannot be traded. I’m not asking to trade it—I simply asked Kraken to credit the deposit so I can withdraw it. Still, I’m being told to wait for an email response. And this isn’t my only bad experience. I previously deposited almost $100 worth of USDC using the BSC network by mistake, even though Kraken doesn’t support USDC deposits on BSC. I understand that mistakes are the user’s responsibility, but we are human and mistakes happen. Many major exchanges have recovery processes for unsupported-network deposits. Kraken simply told me that they couldn’t recover the funds. I understand that exchanges have security procedures and cannot recover every deposit. But completely lacking a reasonable recovery process, combined with extremely slow customer support, makes it very difficult to trust the platform with your funds. I’m genuinely disappointed with Kraken. A top-tier exchange should have a much better support and asset-recovery system. @krakenfx, I hope you seriously improve this experience for your customers. @Krak

  Crypto needs a renaissance. Persistently weak trading volume and insufficient buying momentum indicate strong overhead resistance. 2026 net ETF flows remain negative by roughly $4.8–5.4 billion, still working against a deep hole dug during May and June. CLARITY Act's path to passage has narrowed. The Senate shelved it before recess, and prediction markets now put odds of passage this year below 30%. All of this while stocks are at an ATH.
