Enrollment is seamless; clients who hold or pledge USDG within custody are automatically included in the program once their address is registered. Rewards are distributed monthly and deposited directly into custody vaults, helping clients capture returns without disrupting existing workflows. Every payout undergoes compliance and fraud screening, maintaining the regulatory standards required by institutions.
Protected under Kraken Financial’s SPDI framework
The USDG Rewards Program operates within Kraken Custody’s qualified custody model, backed by Kraken Financial’s Wyoming Special Purpose Depository Institution (SPDI) charter. This structure provides full asset segregation, operational transparency and regulatory oversight — offering institutional clients a custody solution that meets the highest compliance standards.
Now supporting custody for SOL and XRP
In addition to launching rewards on USDG, Kraken Custody now supports SOL and XRP for custody. These assets are not part of the Rewards Program but are fully supported for secure, segregated storage within our qualified custody platform.
This expansion gives institutions and HNWIs broader access to high-demand assets, with the same custody protections they expect across their portfolios.
