Is Kraken's staking program available for all cryptocurrencies?

Good question. The short answer is: no — Kraken does not support staking for all cryptocurrencies. Its staking (or “earn / rewards”) program is only available for a specific set of supported assets. Kraken+1

Here’s a breakdown of how it works — and why not all coins are eligible:

✅ What Kraken’s staking program does support

• Kraken has a list of eligible assets that users can stake or “auto-earn” with. These include many—but not all—Proof-of-Stake (PoS) or staking-compatible tokens. support.kraken.com+2Crypitol+2

• Examples of supported cryptocurrencies: Kraken+2coinweb.com+2

  • Blockchain tokens: e.g. Ethereum (ETH/ETH2), Polkadot (DOT), Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), Cosmos (ATOM), plus others like KAVA, Mina (MINA), Tezos (XTZ), etc. Kraken+2support.kraken.com+2

  • Some “non-typical” assets or even fiat/fiat-like: in some regions, Kraken has offered “Auto Earn” or similar return programs for certain non-crypto balances. Kraken+1

• Kraken offers different staking modes depending on the asset: e.g. “flexible staking” (unstake when you want) or “bonded staking” (lock for a term for higher yields) when the underlying blockchain supports it. support.kraken.com+1

⚠️ Why NOT all cryptocurrencies are eligible for staking

• Network-type / consensus model matters: Staking typically only works for coins on blockchains using Proof-of-Stake (or variants). Coins on Proof-of-Work networks (or that don’t support staking) simply can’t be “staked.” Kraken’s staking program reflects that. support.kraken.com+1

• Kraken’s supported-asset list is curated: Even if a coin is technically stakeable on its native network, Kraken may choose not to support it — for liquidity, technical, regulatory or infrastructure reasons. Kraken+1

• Geo- and regulatory restrictions may apply: In some jurisdictions, staking or certain “earn” programs may be limited or unavailable. support.kraken.com+1

🎯 What that means for you (if you use Kraken)

• Don’t assume that every coin you hold on Kraken can be staked.

• To stake on Kraken, you need to check whether the coin is on their “eligible staking assets” list.

• If your coin isn’t supported, you may still hold or trade it — but you won’t earn staking/yield rewards via Kraken.

• If you want to stake a coin not supported by Kraken, you’d need to use a different wallet or exchange that supports its staking (or stake directly on its native chain, if possible).
