Who could take part
The sweepstakes was open in most of Kraken's markets, including the US, Canada and the EEA. Residents of the UK, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Turkey could not enter, and neither could residents of Florida, Maine, New York, Rhode Island, Puerto Rico or Quebec. No purchase or trade was necessary: eligible residents could request a free alternate entry.
Why ETH
Kraken opened in 2011 and says it was the first exchange to list ETH, in 2015. The prize ties those two anniversaries together.
