100× leverage on BTC and ETH perps is now live on Kraken Pro
TL;DR
- Kraken Pro has raised maximum leverage on BTC and ETH perpetual futures from 50× to 100× in eligible geos
- Applies to two contracts only: PF_XBTUSD and PF_ETHUSD, cash-settled in USD and trading 24/7
- 100× leverage is available up to $1M notional on BTC and $500K notional on ETH, then scales down by tier as position size grows
- No new account, no migration, no extra setup — if you already trade futures on Kraken Pro, the higher leverage is live on your existing account
What’s new
Two contracts. One change.
- PF_XBTUSD (BTC/USD perpetual): max leverage raised to 100×
- PF_ETHUSD (ETH/USD perpetual): max leverage raised to 100×
Both contracts remain cash-settled in USD and trade 24/7, same as before. Same futures wallet, same order types, same interface. The only difference is the number at the top of the leverage slider.
