Kraken EGLD Funding and Trading Paused: What Users Should Do

Quick answer: Kraken’s status page says EGLD deposits and withdrawals remain paused and EGLD trading pairs are in cancel-only mode. If you have a pending deposit or withdrawal, do not create another transfer until you verify the first transaction and Kraken’s current funding status.

What Kraken is reporting

Kraken first reported issues with the MultiversX funding gateway and later said EGLD trading pairs had been moved to cancel-only mode. Deposits and withdrawals remained paused in the latest status update available for this article.

What cancel-only means

Cancel-only is not normal trading. Kraken says users can cancel existing orders, but new orders cannot be placed and trades will not execute. This is separate from the funding pause affecting deposits and withdrawals.

If your EGLD deposit is pending

Copy the transaction hash from the sending wallet or exchange.
Check the transaction on a trusted MultiversX explorer.
Confirm the destination address and any required deposit details.
Keep the hash and timestamps for a support case.
Do not resend simply because Kraken has not credited the account.

If your withdrawal is pending

Check whether Kraken generated an on-chain transaction hash. If there is no hash, the withdrawal may still be held within the exchange’s processing system. If there is a hash, verify its state independently on-chain.

Why this is important

Kraken’s funding interruption follows broader MultiversX operational problems reported during the same period. Exchange status and blockchain status are related but distinct: an exchange can keep funding paused even while blocks are being produced.

Security warning

Ignore anyone claiming they can “release” a Kraken deposit by connecting your wallet, revealing a seed phrase, or paying a recovery fee. Use Kraken’s official support and status pages only.

FAQ

Are all Kraken funding methods down?

No. Kraken’s incident notice says other funding methods are operating normally.

Will Kraken announce restoration?

Kraken says it will provide further updates. Check the status page before initiating EGLD funding.

Does cancel-only mean my EGLD is lost?

No. Cancel-only describes trading restrictions; it does not by itself indicate loss of customer assets.
