Yes. A person who already holds a personal Kraken account can open a separate business account for their revocable living trust. The trust account must use a different email address — individual and business accounts cannot share login credentials. The trustee completes the standard business account KYC process for the trust entity, separate from any verification already completed for the personal account.
