1. Sponsor

This Promotion ("Promotion") is sponsored by Tulip HoldCo Ltd., located at 2nd Floor, Water's Edge Building, Wickhams Cay II, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands ("Sponsor" or "Kraken").

2. Eligible Areas

The Promotion is open to eligible customers in jurisdictions where Kraken Margin trading is available, excluding the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, and Canada.

Kraken reserves the right to verify jurisdiction of residence at any time. Participants found to reside in an ineligible jurisdiction will be disqualified and any reward issued will be subject to clawback.

3. Promotion Period

This Promotion commences on 18 May 2026 and continues on an always-on basis until terminated by the Sponsor ("Promotion Period"). The Sponsor reserves the right to terminate this Promotion at any time with reasonable notice.

Each individual participant has a 21-day personal window from the date they are whitelisted into the Promotion ("Personal Window") to:

  • Enrol into the Promotion via the Kraken Pro Rewards Hub; and
  • Complete the qualifying activity described in Section 4.

Participants who do not enrol and complete the qualifying activity within their Personal Window will not be eligible to receive the Reward for that cycle.

4. How to Participate / Qualifying Activity

To be eligible to receive the Reward, a participant must complete all of the following steps within their Personal Window:

  • Be resident in an Eligible Area at the time of enrolment.
  • Enrol into the Promotion via the Kraken Pro Rewards Hub.
  • Place a margin trade or trades with a cumulative notional volume of at least USD $500 on Kraken Pro after enrolling. Multiple trades may be combined to meet the threshold. Trades involving stablecoin pairs are excluded.

Trades completed before enrolment will not count towards the qualifying threshold. Only trades completed after enrolment will be counted.

There is no free alternative method of entry. This Promotion is an incentive, not a sweepstakes or contest.

  • USD $400 worth of BTC
  • USD $600 worth of BTC
  • USD $1,000 worth of BTC

The specific Reward amount each participant receives will be determined by a random draw at the time of the qualifying trade. The BTC value of the Reward is calculated using the prevailing BTC/USD price at the time of credit.

One Reward per person, per household, and per account. The Reward has no cash value and may not be transferred or exchanged.

The Sponsor reserves the right to substitute the Reward with one of equal or greater value at its sole discretion.

9. Consents and Approvals

By participating, participants consent to the collection, storage, and use of their personal data by the Sponsor for the purposes of administering this Promotion, in accordance with Kraken's Privacy Policy available at https://kraken.com/legal/privacy.

10. Disclaimers

Trading on margin involves significant risk and may not be suitable for all participants. Margin trading uses leverage which amplifies both gains and losses. Participants may lose more than their initial investment if the market moves against them, and positions may be liquidated to cover losses. Participants are responsible for managing their own risk exposure, including understanding collateral requirements, leverage, liquidation, and borrowing costs.

The Sponsor is not responsible for any technical failures affecting participation, any loss suffered as a result of participating, or any change in the value of BTC between issuance and withdrawal.

In the event of conflict between these Official Rules and any marketing materials, these Official Rules shall control.

11. Limitation of Liability, Disputes, and Governing Law

By participating in this Promotion, you agree to and hereby release and hold harmless Tulip HoldCo Ltd. and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents (collectively, "Kraken") from any damage, injury, death, loss, claim, action, demand, or other liability ("Claims") that may arise from your acceptance, possession, and/or use of any Reward or your participation in this Promotion, regardless of whether such Claims exist at the time of entry or arise at any time thereafter.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW: (1) ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, JUDGMENTS, AND AWARDS WILL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL THIRD-PARTY, OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS INCURRED, IF ANY, NOT TO EXCEED TWENTY-FIVE US DOLLARS (USD $25.00). ATTORNEYS' FEES ARE NOT RECOVERABLE; (2) YOU WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO SEEK PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, OR LOST PROFITS; AND (3) YOUR REMEDIES ARE LIMITED TO A CLAIM FOR MONEY DAMAGES ONLY.
