我如何在Kraken上出售ALGO？
-
Sign up for a Kraken account
You’ll need a username, email address and, something else we highly recommend, a strong password. -
Verify your Kraken account
You’ll have to provide your name, birth date, country of residence and phone number. If you own ALGO, you can deposit and sell it today. -
Send ALGO to Your Kraken Address
If you want to sell ALGO for another cryptocurrency (like BTC or ETC), begin by generating a deposit address and moving your ALGO to that new address to officially deposit your crypto.(Note: Once you send your ALGO to Kraken, your cryptocurrency will no longer be generating staking rewards. So, if you change your mind and want to continue earning ALGO, you’ll need to send your ALGO back to another wallet).
