Recognizing the importance of Bitcoin from the onset and understanding that the exchange is the most critical part of the cryptocurrency ecosystem, Jesse Powell founded Kraken to give people the means to quickly and securely invest in the space. Since then, the company has grown by leaps and bounds with hundreds of employees spanning the globe. We’re a diverse group of thinkers and doers that are dedicated to making cryptocurrency available and accessible to the world and enabling people from all walks of life to invest in their independence.

There is no minimum investment amount to invest with Kraken.
No, Kraken is available for both accredited and non-accredited investors.
If your account is already setup and funded at Rocket Dollar, the Kraken team will work to approve applications same day or within a few days.
Keep in mind that incorrect details being submitted or not following instructions could cause delays.
If you are setting up an IRA LLC or Solo 401(k) Rocket Dollar Silver Account from scratch, please allow for three weeks for Rocket Dollar account setup and funding, and apply to Kraken once your IRA LLC or Solo 401(k) entity is created.
Gold customers will be able to finish their Rocket Dollar account in two weeks and can apply to Kraken during the second week.
Kraken can accept cryptocurrency from another exchange account as long as that cryptocurrency account is in the SAME legal name as your Checkbook IRA or Solo 401(k) trust. This means that the losing crypto exchange and the Kraken exchange are both tied to the same retirement account and legal entity, such as a Checkbook IRA or Solo 401(k) trust. You can NOT contribute new tax advantage to an IRA with cryptocurrency at this time, as the IRS does not recognize cryptocurrency as a currency, but rather "property" of your IRA.
To get started, open your Kraken account first. Once your application is completed, work with the Kraken team to move cryptocurrency funds.
If you wish to transfer crypto from another IRA provider, know that Rocket Dollar does not currently support cryptocurrency in-kind transfers. If you are interested in exploring this and using a Kraken account, you can contact info@rocketdollar.com, as Rocket Dollar has been exploring adding support. Crypto transfers from another IRA provider must be handled with the utmost care.
Sending cryptocurrency from a separate IRA provider without informing Rocket Dollar can lead to serious tax issues if the process is not properly documented for an in-kind transfer.
No. If the contribution is not first sent to our custodian, ALONG with a contribution form to officially record it, there is no custodian or IRS record of a contribution on the important IRS form 5498. Do all new IRA contributions or rollovers by contacting the Rocket Dollar support team. After your RD Partner bank account is funded, you can then send the fiat funds to Kraken to begin investing, trading, or transacting into particular cryptocurrencies.
Kraken supports all states except Washington state and New York. Please visit our partners page if you are in these states and looking for another option.
IRA Trusts at Rocket Dollar are created under Nevada law but do not have a business address in Nevada. It's your home address.
Having a Colorado LLC does NOT supersede your current mailing address, as the Colorado LLC is typically doing business from your home mailing address at Rocket Dollar, and applications from New York or Washington St will be denied.
