The crypto exchange said eligible US users can now access up to 10x leveraged spot crypto trading through a CFTC-registered entity.
Kraken has launched spot margin trading for eligible US retail users on Kraken Pro through a CFTC-registered entity, expanding access to leveraged crypto trading on a regulated domestic platform.
The product allows traders to borrow against crypto holdings without selling them, offering up to 10x leverage for long and short positions, according to the company. Kraken said the platform displays liquidation prices and borrowing costs before trades are executed.
The crypto exchange said regulated margin trading in the United States has historically been limited to institutions and high-net-worth individuals classified as Eligible Contract Participants, pushing many retail traders toward offshore platforms offering leverage products.
