Kraken publishes 0.4% taker / 0.25% maker as its entry-tier trading fees, and every number on this page links back to the official schedule it came from (last checked August 30, 2026). Kraken does not currently accept customers from Philippines according to its published terms, so this page is informational for Philippines readers. Reserve transparency is part of the score here: the table notes what the platform publishes about its holdings. Filipino users often fund through local e-wallets such as GCash where supported, which makes fiat rails a key row in this table.

The table below is the public entry-tier snapshot for Kraken: published fees, verification rules, and account terms, each linked to the official page it was read from and dated August 30, 2026. Logged-in tiers, promotions, and regional product lines can differ from the public schedule, so treat these numbers as the starting point for Philippines and confirm inside the account before moving size.

Using Kraken from Philippines

Signing up from Philippines puts Kraken under a local rulebook, and it is not what the fee table alone tells you. Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), the central bank, oversees retail crypto platforms as Virtual Asset Service Providers under Circular No. 1108. BSP maintains a public register of licensed VASPs; active non-bank entries include Coins.ph, Maya Philippines and PDAX — no major offshore exchange appears. How money actually reaches the order book here: InstaPay, the BSP-overseen real-time interbank transfer scheme (capped per transaction), is the dominant instant deposit rail for banks and e-wallets. The GCash mobile wallet is the most widely used e-money option, with InstaPay support for interbank transfers. On tax treatment in this market: The Department of Finance expects crypto-asset users to pay tax on their gains and has committed the Philippines to the OECD Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework.

What does Kraken actually charge?: 0.40% (tier 0, 30-day volume under $10,000) — published at kraken.com and last checked on August 30, 2026. Promotional tiers and account-level discounts can lower it.
Is Kraken available in Philippines?: Kraken does not currently accept customers from Philippines according to its published terms, so this page is informational for Philippines readers.
How does ChainCosts earn from this page?: If you open an account through a link here, the provider may pay us a commission. It never changes the price you pay, and the numbers above come from the provider's published pages, not from the commercial relationship.
