Why order flow matters
Liquidity It is the basic business of exchange. Better liquidity attracts traders, and more traders improve liquidity. API partnerships help build that loop by embedding exchange access directly into the software that professional users already rely on.
The revenue sharing model is designed to make partners care about the volume of routing through Kraken. If the platform can profit from the stream you send, the exchange becomes part of the platform’s business model rather than just an option elsewhere.
A quieter institutional push
This doesn’t grab the headlines like a new derivatives product, but it may be more durable. Professional traders care about execution quality, uptime, fees, depth, and integration. These are exactly the areas in which API software competes.
For Kraken, the program fits into a broader push to strengthen its corporate position. The role of the exchange is not just about chasing users; It is trying to become a virtual liquidity layer within other trading products.
