Kraken to Replace 176 Trading Pairs: What Traders and Bots Should Check

Kraken plans to replace 176 native trading pairs with synthetic pairs. The affected pairs are scheduled to become cancel-only at 14:00 UTC on November 6, 2026; open orders will not transfer, and replacement pairs are scheduled for November 9 by end of day. Bot and API users should review the affected markets and their order-handling logic.

What is Kraken changing?

Kraken plans to replace 176 native trading pairs with synthetic pairs; the assets themselves will remain on the exchange.

According to Kraken’s notice, the change concerns the type of trading pairs, not the removal of the assets from Kraken. The exchange has published a list of affected pairs, which users should check before taking action.

The notice describes a change to trading markets. It does not announce changes to API endpoints or message formats, so this should not be presented as a confirmed API migration.

When is the transition, and what happens to open orders?

The affected pairs are scheduled to become cancel-only at 14:00 UTC on November 6, 2026; open orders will not carry over to replacement pairs.

Kraken’s notice gives the following timeline:

If you have an open order on an affected pair, Kraken advises canceling it before 14:00 UTC on November 6. Once a replacement pair is listed, any new order must be placed separately. Kraken also says balances are unaffected and margin pairs are not included.

What should API and trading-bot users check?

Check whether your strategy uses an affected market and plan for the old pair to stop accepting new orders and for open orders to be canceled.

The market replacement may matter to automated trading even though Kraken has not announced a separate API change. Before the transition:

  1. Compare the pairs used by your bot with Kraken’s official affected-market list.
  2. Identify open orders and the bot rules that resubmit or manage them.
  3. Plan to pause the strategy or remove the old pair before it becomes cancel-only.
  4. After the replacement is listed, verify that it is available before changing bot settings or restarting the strategy.
  5. Check order status and logs after the transition; do not assume orders will be transferred automatically.

These are operational precautions for bot users, not claims that Kraken announced specific API changes. The notice does not say that settings, signals, or orders will be migrated automatically.

Where can you find the affected-pair list?

Kraken Support has published the full list; check it before changing your trading setup.

The list includes pairs with different quote assets, such as ADA/AUD, BTC/DAI, and ETH/JPY. These are examples only, not the complete list. Check the specific market and any updates on Kraken’s official support page; the exchange status page also carries the announcement.

There is a difference in how the dates appear: the status page displays a November 10 window, while the notice text describes the transition stages from November 6 to 9. For order-related actions, check the current support article and verify the schedule again before the event.

FAQ

Will the change affect my Kraken balance?

Do I need to act if I have no open orders on the affected pairs?

Is this a Kraken API change?

The notice describes replacement trading pairs, but does not announce changes to API endpoints or message formats.

Walt’s Telegram AI Trading Agent: Features, Controls, and Risks

On October 20, 2026, Walt announced Agentic Trading, letting users ask Mira, ChatGPT, or Claude to analyze positions and carry out specified actions with perpetual futures. Walt says agents use a dedicated account, cannot withdraw funds, and have order execution switched off by default. These controls do not eliminate the risk of losses or AI errors.

What did Walt launch for Telegram trading?

Walt introduced Agentic Trading, a way to manage perpetual-futures trading through conversations with AI agents.

In an announcement dated October 20, 2026, Walt said users could connect Mira, ChatGPT, or Claude to a trading account. Mira brings the interaction into Telegram, while ChatGPT and Claude are accessed through their own chat environments. This is a feature of the Walt app—not a claim that Telegram itself operates the trading platform.

Perpetual futures let traders take positions on price movements without buying the underlying asset, and they have no fixed expiry date. Using leverage can increase the size of a position relative to the trader’s own funds, as well as the risk of loss.

What can the AI agent do?

Walt says the agent can analyze market and position data, place instructions to open or close trades, and manage certain orders.

Walt lists these capabilities:

For example, a user might ask the agent to review their exposure or follow a specified scenario. These are capabilities described by the company; they are not evidence that an agent will assess the market correctly or execute every instruction without error.

How is the agent’s access to funds limited?

Walt says the agent trades only from a dedicated account, cannot withdraw or transfer funds, and starts with order execution switched off.

The user funds the separate account, sets instructions and trading parameters, monitors activity, and can disconnect the agent. Order execution is off by default, so the setting must be changed before orders can be executed.

These controls limit the agent’s access to funds, but they do not make trading risk-free: an agent can still misread an instruction or make an unsuccessful trade. Walt’s terms also state that a dedicated account remains part of the user’s relationship with Walt and does not, by itself, create a separate guarantee that funds will be protected.

What risks remain when trading with AI?

Market and leverage risk, misinterpreted instructions, and technical disruptions remain; a dedicated account and default-off execution do not rule out losses.

Walt’s terms say an agent’s output may be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date, and that it may interpret an instruction differently from what the user intended. Delays, connection interruptions, and other technical issues can also affect order handling. A stop-loss or take-profit order should not be treated as an unconditional guarantee of a particular outcome.

When leverage is used, losses may affect all funds in the dedicated account and, according to Walt’s terms, may exceed the initial deposit. Before confirming a command, users should review the instrument, direction, position size, and risk settings themselves. This is a description of risks, not a recommendation to use the product.

What should users check before connecting an AI agent?

Check service availability and terms, confirm how order execution is controlled, and review each trade’s parameters before deciding whether the risk is acceptable.

  1. Check whether the feature is available in your country and under your account conditions.
  2. Read the service terms and confirm how order execution is enabled and disabled.
  3. Check which account will be funded and what limits apply to position size and leverage.
  4. Before confirming each instruction, verify its direction, size, and exit settings.
  5. Do not treat agent responses as financial advice or assume an automated order guarantees a capped loss.

The materials reviewed do not establish Agentic Trading’s regional availability or cost. Check Walt’s interface and documentation for those details.

According to Walt’s terms, losses may exceed the initial deposit when leverage is used.
