Kraken said that it added HYPE and XAUT to its collateral currency lineup for Kraken Pro traders. According to the announcement, the expansion brings Kraken’s eligible collateral assets to 56 across margin, derivatives and Flexline products.
The update affects traders using leveraged and credit products because the same shared collateral pool now supports more asset choices. Kraken listed Hyperliquid (HYPE) with a 20% haircut and Tether Gold (XAUT) with a 40% haircut, meaning each asset’s collateral value is reduced before risk calculations.
Kraken said collateral assets used to open margin positions cannot be exchanged or withdrawn while the position remains active. The next point for users is eligibility and risk management, as margin, derivatives and Flexline availability remains subject to limitations and product-specific requirements.
