TL;DR

  • Liquidation price, margin ratio, and take-profit/stop-loss tools work exactly as they did before.

  • Availability depends on your market. Check the Kraken Pro app to confirm eligibility.

What’s changing

We’ve raised the maximum leverage on ETH/USD margin positions to 20x for eligible traders in select markets. This is a change to the ceiling itself, not to how margin trading works on Kraken Pro. The margin engine, the order flow, and the account you already use are unchanged. Leverage is the only variable that moved.
