We’re raising ETH/USD margin leverage to 20x on Kraken Pro
TL;DR
20x leverage is now available on ETH/USD margin for eligible traders on Kraken Pro.
Liquidation price, margin ratio, and take-profit/stop-loss tools work exactly as they did before.
This update applies to ETH/USD margin only. It doesn’t extend to other pairs or to futures.
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.
