Trade futures without the wallet-hopping: Unified Wallet is now available in the EEA
Trade futures without the wallet-hopping: Unified Wallet is now available in the EEA

TL;DR

  • Unified Wallet is now available to EEA clients on Kraken Pro
  • It combines your spot, margin, and futures balances into one shared source of collateral, so you can trade futures without moving funds between wallets
  • Eligible holdings, including gold (XAU), count toward your futures margin automatically, with no idle collateral
  • Enabling it is a self-serve switch in your account settings, and you can do it anytime

If you already hold spot, margin, or earn balances with us but haven’t traded futures yet, the biggest hurdle is often practical rather than strategic. Your capital sits in one wallet, your futures trades need collateral in another, and every idea starts with moving funds around. Unified Wallet takes that step out.
