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.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>What is Kraken changing?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Kraken plans to replace 176 native trading pairs with synthetic pairs; the assets themselves will remain on the exchange.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to Kraken\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h2>When is the transition, and what happens to open orders?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>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.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kraken\u2019s notice gives the following timeline:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>November 6, 14:00 UTC:<\/strong> affected native pairs move to cancel-only. New orders cannot be submitted, but existing orders can be canceled.<\/li>\n<li><strong>November 6\u20139:<\/strong> remaining orders are canceled and the native pairs are delisted.<\/li>\n<li><strong>November 9, by end of day:<\/strong> synthetic replacement pairs are scheduled to be listed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h2>What should API and trading-bot users check?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>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.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The market replacement may matter to automated trading even though Kraken has not announced a separate API change. Before the transition:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Compare the pairs used by your bot with Kraken\u2019s official affected-market list.<\/li>\n<li>Identify open orders and the bot rules that resubmit or manage them.<\/li>\n<li>Plan to pause the strategy or remove the old pair before it becomes cancel-only.<\/li>\n<li>After the replacement is listed, verify that it is available before changing bot settings or restarting the strategy.<\/li>\n<li>Check order status and logs after the transition; do not assume orders will be transferred automatically.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h2>Where can you find the affected-pair list?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Kraken Support has published the full list; check it before changing your trading setup.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s official support page; the exchange status page also carries the announcement.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<h3>Will the change affect my Kraken balance?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Kraken says balances are unaffected; the change concerns trading pairs.<\/p>\n<h3>Will open orders move to the synthetic pairs?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Kraken says open orders will not transfer; any remaining orders will be canceled.<\/p>\n<h3>Do I need to act if I have no open orders on the affected pairs?<\/h3>\n<p>Kraken says no action is needed if you have no open orders on an affected pair. Bot users may still want to review which markets their software uses.<\/p>\n<h3>Is this a Kraken API change?<\/h3>\n<p>The notice describes replacement trading pairs, but does not announce changes to API endpoints or message formats.<\/p>\n<h2>Sources<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.kraken.com\/ca\/articles\/native-pairs-moving-to-sythetic-pairs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">support.kraken.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/status.kraken.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">status.kraken.com<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kraken plans to replace 176 native trading pairs with synthetic pairs.
