It often includes:\n\n- **Staking rewards** (for Proof-of-Stake assets)  \n- **Opt-In Rewards**, where you manually opt into certain earning programs  \n- **USDG Rewards**, if the Global Dollar (USDG) is in your account ([support.kraken.com](https://support.kraken.com/articles/overview-of-auto-earn-on-kraken?utm_source=openai))\n\nRewards are calculated daily and paid out weekly. Assets remain tradeable and withdrawable with no lockups in most cases ([support.kraken.com](https://support.kraken.com/articles/overview-of-auto-earn-on-kraken?utm_source=openai)).\n\n---\n\n### \u2699\ufe0f How to Enable Auto Earn\n\nHere\u2019s how to turn it on from different Kraken platforms:\n\n#### On Kraken Web\n\n1. Sign in to your Kraken account.  \n2. On the left-hand menu, click **Earn**.  \n3. Click **Manage Auto Earn**. You\u2019ll see which assets are eligible.  \n4. Toggle **Auto Earn** on.

Tap **Auto Earn** (or Earn from your profile/earnings/wallet settings).  \n3. Toggle on the reward programs.

([support.kraken.com](https://support.kraken.com/articles/overview-of-auto-earn-on-kraken?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Location**: Auto Earn availability depends on regional regulations. If you live in a location that Kraken deems \u201crestricted\u201d for certain programs, you might not see the option. ([support.kraken.com](https://support.kraken.com/articles/overview-of-auto-earn-on-kraken?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Minimum balances**: Generally, you need at least the USD equivalent of ~$1\u2014i.e., very small but non-zero. ([support.kraken.com](https://support.kraken.com/articles/overview-of-auto-earn-on-kraken?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Eligible assets**: Not all assets are eligible for every rewards program. Before you enable, check which assets in your account qualify.

Want me to check that?"

        "content": "Kraken has introduced special incentives and structural advantages around USDG (Global Dollar) for several key reasons. Here\u2019s a detailed look at **why Kraken \u201cfavors\u201d USDG**, based on current policies and financial incentives:\n\n---\n\n### 1. Shared Revenue Model via the Global Dollar Network (GDN)\n\nKraken is part of the **Global Dollar Network (GDN)**, alongside issuers like Paxos and partners like Robinhood and Anchorage. As a member, Kraken helps drive adoption of USDG. In turn, it gets a share of the economic benefits generated by USDG\u2019s reserve assets. Those benefits aren\u2019t just internal\u2014they\u2019re partially passed to users through the USDG Rewards program.([globaldollar.com](https://globaldollar.com/newsroom/kraken-usdg?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### 2. Stablecoin Characteristics + Low Risk (Relative)\n\nUSDG is a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar, issued by Paxos Digital Singapore (approved under the MAS framework), and backed by high-quality reserves like U.S. Treasury bills. It also publishes monthly third-party audits. These features minimize the volatility and regulatory risk compared to other cryptos.([support.kraken.com](https://support.kraken.com/articles/usdg-rewards-faq?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### 3. Attractive Rewards and Incentives for Users\n\nHere are the perks Kraken gives users who hold USDG:\n\n- **Higher Earn Rates**: Non-subscribers can earn ~2% APR, while Kraken+ members can get up to 4% or more APR.([blog.kraken.com](https://blog.kraken.com/news/earn-usdg-rewards?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Free Conversions**: Converting USD \u2192 USDG is done fee-free, which lowers friction and encourages adoption.([blog.kraken.com](https://blog.kraken.com/news/earn-usdg-rewards?utm_source=openai))  \n- **No Lockups**: Assets remain liquid\u2014you can trade, withdraw, or use USDG as collateral without restrictions.([support.kraken.com](https://support.kraken.com/vi/articles/stablecoin-rewards-krak?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### 4. Use as Collateral for Margin & Futures Trading\n\nRecently Kraken made USDG eligible as a collateral currency for margin and futures trading. This gives traders a low-volatility option to back leveraged positions without constantly converting in and out of volatile assets, offering strategic flexibility.([blog.kraken.com](https://blog.kraken.com/product/pro/new-collateral-currency-available-for-margin-and-futures-trading-usdg?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### 5. Regulatory Clarity and Transparency\n\nThe regulatory landscape for stablecoins is getting more attention globally. USDG is issued by a regulated entity, follows MAS rules in Singapore, undergoes regular audits, and is backed by cash or cash-equivalent reserves. These give Kraken more confidence in promoting it\u2014since there\u2019s less regulatory and credit risk.([support.kraken.com](https://support.kraken.com/articles/usdg-rewards-faq?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### 6. Marketing & Loyalty Strategy\n\nUSDG Rewards acts as a loyalty program. Its attributes help Kraken:\n\n- Encourage users to **keep USDG on the platform**, increasing Kraken\u2019s assets under custody.  \n- Boost user engagement by offering something \u201ceffortless\u201d (earn just by holding USDG).  \n- Differentiate its platform through the Kraken+ subscription, which improves reward rates and adds benefits like zero-fee instant trading.([kraken.com](https://www.kraken.com/features/auto-earn/usdg?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can break down how USDG compares with USDC or other stablecoins in Kraken\u2019s ecosystem\u2014sometimes the difference in rewards or restrictions depends heavily on your location. Want me to pull that together for your country?"
