Kraken is updating the pairs eligible for its maker fee incentive program by moving selected trading pairs off the rebate maker fee schedule and onto fiat/stablecoin or regular spot maker fee schedules.

The company said in an announcement the change is intended to concentrate rebate support on pairs that continue to need liquidity development.

Effective March 6, 2026, 4:00 p.m. UTC, Kraken will reassign a set of pairs currently on the Maker Rebate Fee Schedule. Six pairs will move to the Stablecoin Schedule: TBTC/BTC, USDS/EUR, USDD/EUR, METH/ETH, CMETH/ETH and EURR/USDC. Ten pairs will move to the Spot Crypto Schedule: BTC/FIDD, ETH/FIDD, BTC/EUROP, BTC/USD1, BTC/EURC, BTC/AUSD, ETH/PYUSD, ETH/EUROP, ETH/USD1 and ETH/EURC.

The announcement noted maker rebates will continue on 650+ other trading pairs and described the update as part of ongoing steps to keep the rebate programme effective and sustainable. Clients with questions may contact their relationship manager or visit the support center for more information, the company said in the announcement.

The recap

Selected trading pairs will leave the rebate maker fee schedule.

16 specific pairs reassigned to stablecoin or spot schedules.

Changes take effect March 6, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. UTC.
