Is Kraken available in the US?

Yes, Kraken is available in the US, but not in every state. As of November 2026, Kraken's support center says it does not serve residents of New York or Maine, and several products are restricted state by state. The US business runs through Payward Interactive, Inc. and a group of registered affiliates. For an overview of the exchange itself, see what is Kraken.

Which US states can use Kraken?

Kraken's position is that it serves US residents everywhere except New York and Maine. That exclusion also covers its stock trading arms, Kraken Securities LLC and Kraken Adviser LLC.

Beyond that, some features are patchy:

• Crypto transfers are unavailable in Indiana.
• Kraken's licensing page lists cash transfers as unavailable in Indiana, Louisiana, Massachusetts and Utah, while its funding page names Texas among states without access to its US bank funding methods. Check the current article for your state.
• Texas and New Hampshire residents cannot hold euros or trade euro pairs.
• On-chain staking and the Rewards feature are offered only in listed states.
• Stock trading is available only in select states.

State limits generally come from licensing rules, which are explained in state crypto licenses.

Is Kraken available in New York or Maine?

No. Kraken does not serve New York residents. Maine was dropped more recently. Kraken told Maine clients that services would stop from June 1, 2024, and gave them until April 12, 2025 to withdraw. Assets left after that date were treated as abandoned and passed to the state of Maine. Kraken said state-level issues drove the change and that it hoped to return, without a timeline.

What registrations does Kraken have in the US?

Kraken lists several US entities. Payward Interactive is registered with FinCEN as a money services business. Kraken Financial is a Wyoming-chartered special purpose depository institution offering custody to eligible clients. Kraken Securities LLC is an SEC-registered broker-dealer and FINRA member. NinjaTrader Clearing, LLC, doing business as Kraken Derivatives US, is a CFTC-registered futures commission merchant. These registrations do not make crypto balances insured.

To fund in dollars, Kraken asks for a verified account, a US passport or driver's license, US proof of address, a US Social Security number, a US bank account and a US phone number.

Can you use Kraken Pro in the US?

Yes. Kraken Pro is the exchange's advanced trading screen, and US clients in supported states can use it for spot trading. Kraken says eligible US retail clients can also unlock spot margin trading through Kraken Derivatives US once their account is verified. US futures are offered through the same entity and are only for US clients. Geographic limits may still apply, so check eligibility in the app before relying on any feature.
