Cryptocurrency News & Market Updates
Gold, silver, oil, and other commodities are now live on Kraken Prop at half the commission
TL;DR
- Gold is live on Kraken Prop as of October 29, 2026, alongside silver, WTI oil, Brent oil, copper, and natural gas.
- On all plans other than Lite, commission is cut in half on every non-crypto market, from 4bps to 2bps per side. That covers the new commodities plus S&P 500 and XYZ100, and it applies to evaluations and funded accounts you already hold.
- On all plans other than Lite, gold offers up to 5x leverage with a $500,000 notional cap.
- The rulebook hasn’t changed: funded accounts up to $200,000, no consistency rules, no time limits, and up to 90% of gains, with payouts typically within 24 hours.
If you read gold or energy well, the limit has usually been your bankroll, not your ability. As of October 29, 2026, you can put that read to work on Kraken Prop. Gold is live, along with five more commodity markets, and we’ve halved commission on every non-crypto market we offer.
