1. Sponsor
This Promotion (the “Promotion”) is sponsored by Tulip HoldCo Ltd., located at 2nd Floor, Water's Edge Building, Wickhams Cay II, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands (the “Sponsor”, also referred to herein as “Kraken”).
2. Eligible Areas
The Promotion is open to eligible customers residing in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the United States (excluding Maine, New York, Florida, Rhode Island, and Puerto Rico), Canada (excluding Quebec), and other jurisdictions where Kraken services are available (the “Eligible Areas”). Residents of the United Kingdom are not eligible to participate. Void where prohibited.

The Promotion begins on 5 August 2026 at 13:59 UTC and ends on 31 August 2026 at 13:59 UTC (the “Promotion Period”). Only eligible trading activity completed during the Promotion Period, after enrollment, will count toward entries.
4. How to Participate / Qualifying Activity
(A) Trade-Based Entry. To participate through trading, eligible customers must first enroll in the Promotion by tapping the enroll button for this Promotion on the Kraken mobile app, the Kraken Pro mobile app, or the Kraken Pro web app. Trades completed before enrollment will not count toward entries. Entries earned on any of these surfaces accrue to a single combined entry pool, and one draw will be held.
Entry rate: every USD $1.00 (or equivalent amount in another currency) of eligible trading volume executed after enrollment and during the Promotion Period earns one (1) entry into the prize draw. For purposes of this Promotion, trading means buying, selling, or converting.
Eligible trading activity includes:
- Spot trading
- PTL / Instant trades
The following activity does not count toward entries:
- Fiat-to-stablecoin and stablecoin-to-fiat trades
- Stablecoin-to-stablecoin trades
- Trades of xStocks, Stocks, and Bundles
- Leveraged trading on Futures / Derivatives or Margin
Availability of products and services varies based on geo.
(B) Free Alternative Method of Entry (AMOE). No purchase or trade is necessary to enter or win. A free alternative method of entry is available via Sweeppea at https://swpp.me/a/k15yrsweeps26. Each valid AMOE submission earns ten (10) entries. Limit one (1) AMOE submission per person. Every entry, however obtained, has an equal chance of being selected in the random draw, and AMOE entries are treated equally with trade-based entries.
Entry cap: the maximum number of entries a participant may earn is 1,000,000 (one million), combining trade-based entries and AMOE entries.
5. Determination of Winners
This is a sweepstakes promotion. Fifteen (15) winners will be selected by random draw conducted by the Sponsor from all eligible entries received during the Promotion Period. Odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received. Limit one (1) prize per participant.
Except as set out in Section 7A (Canadian residents) and Section 9 (winners who do not yet hold a Kraken account), no action or response is required from a winner to claim a prize. Prizes will be credited directly to the winner's Kraken account.
If a selected winner is ineligible, disqualified, or fails to satisfy the requirements of these Official Rules, the prize may be forfeited and the Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, conduct an alternate drawing from the remaining eligible entries.
6. Prizes
A total of fifteen (15) prizes will be awarded. Each winner will receive fifteen (15) Ether (ETH), credited at the prevailing market rate at the time of award. Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”) per prize: USD $27,840, based on the ETH/USD market rate as of 4 August 2026; total ARV: USD $417,600. ARV is subject to market fluctuation, and the value of any prize may increase or decrease between the date of award and the date of withdrawal.
Prizes will be delivered in ETH to the winner's Kraken account. Prizes are non-transferable and may not be substituted or exchanged, except at the Sponsor's sole discretion for a prize of equal or greater value.
