Infrared (IR) Now Available for Trading on Kraken

Kraken has announced that Infrared (IR) is now available for trading on its platform. Trading for IR went live on December 17, 2025. Users interested in adding this asset to their Kraken accounts can do so by navigating to the Funding section, selecting IR, and clicking ‘Deposit’. It is crucial for users to deposit their tokens into networks supported by Kraken, as deposits made using unsupported networks will be lost.

Infrared is a protocol that builds infrastructure for Proof of Liquidity on Berachain. It offers liquid staking for BERA, a liquid wrapper for BGT, yield-optimized vaults, and operates network validators. The protocol’s iBGT is a liquid wrapper for BGT, backed 1:1, allowing users to deposit for underlying BGT rewards or utilize their iBGT across decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms.

Additionally, iBERA is a liquid staked version of BERA, enabling users to earn validator staking rewards while keeping their BERA liquid. Infrared simplifies the use of Proof of Liquidity, helping users maximize BGT and BERA rewards and enabling new liquidity flywheels by making deposited and staked assets composable across Berachain.

Trading Conditions and Future Listings

Trading via the Kraken App and Instant Buy will become available once liquidity conditions are met. This means a sufficient number of buyers and sellers must enter the market for their orders to be efficiently matched. It is important to note that geographic restrictions may apply to trading IR on Kraken.

Kraken has a policy of not revealing details about future asset listings until shortly before their launch. All available tokens on Kraken can be found on their platform, and future tokens will be announced on Kraken’s Listings Roadmap and social media profiles.
