Kraken is one of the longest-standing crypto exchanges and since it's recent overhaul also fairly easy-to-use. Verification it a breeze and currently takes less than an hour (even with manual review).

Kraken is no longer recommended.
After a proven and even confirmed by the support internal system error, all positions were liquidated and blocked for "security reasons" continue, so I could not create any new. The whole thing has led to real capital loss.

Initially, I was fed standard answers until I could prove that a regular liquidation was not possible (proof by invoice and log entries).

Only then did you continue to search and find the mistake. A faulty transfer to my account, which never landed as a credit on my account, was probably deducted in the remittance and triggered the liquidation!

But one was only willing to "credit" me (not even the full amount) as future trading costs.
Restoring or compensating for the previous condition is not possible.

Translated from German. Show Original

Kraken ist nicht mehr zu empfehlen.
Nach einem nachgewiesenen und sogar durch den Support bestätigten internen Systemfehler, wurden alle Positionen liquidiert und aus „Sicherheitsgründen“ weiterhin gesperrt, ich konnte also auch keine neuen anlegen. Das Ganze hat zu realem Kapitalverlust geführt.

Anfänglich speiste man mich mit Standardantworten ab bis ich nachweisen konnte, dass eine reguläre Liquidiereung nicht möglich war (Nachweis durch Rechnung und Logeinträge).

Erst dann forschte man weiter und fand den Fehler. Eine fehlerhafte Überweisung zu meinem Konto, welche nie als Guthaben auf meinem Account gelandet ist, wurde bei der Rücküberweisung vermutlich abgezogen und löste die Liquidierung aus!!!

Man war aber lediglich bereit mir (nicht mal den vollen Betrag) als zukünftige Tradingkosten „gutzuschreiben“.
Den vorherigen Zustand wiederherzustellen oder zu entschädigen sei nicht möglich.

I need to write about my support experience with Kraken, it is the best service in the industry so far! I mean who wants to wait for an answer when you have a large leveraged position on the line! I was able to connect with a knowledgeable agent immediately, and they were able to walk me through the issue right then, without delay! Kraken is the 5th exchange have tried, although they have recently updated their KYC requirements, I still feel safer on this exchange than on any other. Keep up the good work
