Breakout evaluates traders through a rigorous testing framework that assesses risk management and discipline. Successful traders are allocated company capital and can retain up to 90% of profits, aligning incentives for performance‑based growth.
Kraken’s strategy is to scale trading infrastructure and move beyond retail order flow into capital allocation models that reward demonstrated skill rather than access to capital.
Kraken says Breakout will be integrated into Kraken Pro over time as part of the exchange’s trading infrastructure push. The timeline was described as a phased integration that preserves Breakout’s evaluation methodology while enabling broader capital deployment across Kraken’s user base.
Yes. Breakout’s model that allows traders to keep up to 90% of profits will be retained during integration, according to Kraken’s announcement, preserving incentives for top performers.
