Exchange guide · Updated 2026-04-26
Kraken is the most established US-licensed crypto exchange, with strong reputation for security, regulatory compliance, and Bitcoin-native culture. Kraken operates spot markets, futures (separate entity, Kraken Futures), and Staked products. For halal subscribers, only the spot market is relevant.
Our bot connects to your Kraken account via a read+spot-only API key. Bot can query balances and place spot orders; it cannot withdraw funds, access Kraken Futures, or use Staked products. Permissions are server-enforced by Kraken.
Kraken is the primary recommended exchange for US subscribers (where Binance.US has narrower coverage), and is broadly available in UK, EU, Canada, Australia, and most non-restricted jurisdictions.
Kraken API permissions are server-enforced. 'Withdraw Funds' is unchecked — the permission does not exist on the API key. We cannot withdraw under any circumstance. Custody control is yours, fully.
