Kraken Auto Earn: Trade While Earning Interest on Your Crypto
Are you looking to maximize your crypto profits? What if we told you that you could earn trading profits and passive income simultaneously? That's exactly what Kraken's Auto Earn program offers - a great feature for crypto investors who want to make the most of their digital assets.
What is Kraken Auto Earn
Kraken Auto Earn is a powerful feature that enables you to generate rewards on eligible assets in your account while still having full access to trade them. Your crypto automatically earns rewards through Kraken's Staking, Opt-In, and USDG rewards programs - all while remaining completely available for trading and withdrawals.
The best part? You don't have to choose between trading and earning interest - you can do both at the same time!
Why Auto Earn is a Big Deal for Traders
Traders often think you have to choose between trading or staking. This choice meant potentially missing out on one revenue stream or the other.
Kraken's Auto Earn program solves this problem by allowing traders to:
Trade actively on all Auto Earn digital assets (including spot trades on Kraken Pro)
Earn passive rewards on those same digital assets simultaneously
Withdraw funds anytime without penalties or waiting periods
This wasn't previously possible on Cryptohopper. Our new implementation helps you keep your digital assets liquid while still generating passive income.
Impressive Reward Rates Across Top Tokens
Kraken offers competitive reward rates across a diverse range of cryptocurrencies:
High-yield options (6-12% APR): Bittensor (TAO), Cosmos (ATOM), Kusama (KSM), Mina (MINA), Secret (SCRT), The Graph (GRT)
Medium-yield options (3-5% APR): Cardano (ADA), Celestia (TIA), Injective (INJ), Polkadot (DOT), Solana (SOL), Tezos (XTZ)
Stablecoins (4.25-4.5% APR): Global Dollar (USDG), Tether USD (USDT), USD Coin (USDC)
Popular tokens (1-3% APR): Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin (BTC), Polygon (MATIC), Tron (TRX), Ripple (XRP)
Rewards accrue daily and are paid out weekly to your balance in the same cryptocurrency you're earning on. For example, if you're earning on DOT, you'll receive your rewards in DOT.

Trading and Earning on Cryptohopper
Previously, tokens marked with a ".F" suffix indicated they were locked in flexible staking. Now, these digital assets appear as regular currencies under "Current assets" on Cryptohopper and are fully tradable while still earning rewards.
This means Cryptohopper's automated trading bots can now trade your interest-earning digital assets without any limitations, truly maximizing your crypto revenue potential.
Global Availability with Multiple Currency Options
Kraken serves users in the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, and Australia, offering trading pairs in all major fiat currencies including USD, GBP, and EUR. This makes it accessible to a global audience of traders and investors.

Conclusion: The Best of Both Worlds
Kraken's Auto Earn program represents a significant improvement in how traders can optimize their digital assets. By eliminating the traditional tradeoff between liquidity and passive income, Kraken offers users the best of both worlds.
