Kraken expanded margin leverage across 44 pairs on its Kraken Pro platform. According to the company, this is the largest single leverage expansion in the exchange’s history.
The changes span four distinct categories: stablecoin pairs, gold tokens and regional BTC and ETH pairs, mid-cap assets with high momentum, and DeFi blue-chips alongside euro-denominated pairs.
Stablecoin pairs will receive the most significant adjustment: 17 pairs now operate with up to 10x leverage, compared to previous limits that ranged between 2x and 5x depending on the pair. Among them are USDT/USD, USDC/EUR and USDC/USDT, pairs commonly used by carry traders, funding arbitrageurs and tactical hedgers.
In the second category, 8 pairs including BTC and ETH quoted in CAD, GBP and CHF, plus gold tokens PAXG and XAUT, move from 3x to 5x. The nine mid-cap asset pairs — among them ZEC, XMR, BCH, DOT, TAO and PEPE — also scale to the same ceiling from the same base. The final category incorporates DeFi tokens such as CRV, UNI and AAVE, alongside EUR pairs that mirror the expansions applied in dollar-denominated markets.
Kraken clarified that trading on margin requires users to hold at least one enabled collateral currency, and that availability varies by user region.
