Frequently Asked Questions
1Is Kraken available in China?
Kraken accepts clients from China, but not without limits. Separately, China restricts moving money abroad for investment — Kraken may accept you while your own bank or regulator limits funding and withdrawals.
2Can I fund a Kraken account from China?
Not freely. China restricts moving money abroad for investment, so the constraint sits with your own bank and regulator rather than with Kraken. Opening an account and being able to deposit and withdraw normally are different questions here — check what approvals your bank requires before committing.
3What are the best alternatives to Kraken for China traders?
We recommend checking our full list of brokers available in China on the China brokers page.
4Can I use a VPN to access Kraken from China?
Using a VPN to circumvent geo-restrictions violates Kraken's terms of service and can result in account closure or frozen funds. It also leaves you without regulatory protection. We strongly recommend using a broker that is properly licensed to serve your country.
