Kraken said that 10 xStocks assets are now eligible as collateral for futures and margin trading on Kraken Pro. The change means eligible xStocks can now support leveraged positions automatically wherever futures and margin trading are available on a user’s account.
The update affects eligible clients by region: futures collateral is available outside the United States, including in the EEA, while margin collateral is available outside the United States but not in the EEA. The launch list includes SPYx, QQQx, AAPLx, GOOGLx, TSLAx and NVDAx, alongside other assets, making this a capital-efficiency upgrade with clear eligibility boundaries.
Kraken said haircuts of 10% to 30% and per-asset collateral limits apply, and both are reviewed periodically and subject to change. The practical follow-up is whether traders can use the feature without underestimating leverage risk, since falling collateral values can lead to margin calls or liquidation, making collateral discipline the real test of the rollout.
