Kraken has launched a regulated spot margin trading service for eligible US retail users on its Kraken Pro platform. Facilitated by a CFTC-registered entity, the service allows users to access up to 10x leverage for both long and short positions without needing to sell their crypto holdings. Previously, such products were largely restricted to institutional investors, forcing retail traders toward offshore alternatives. This expansion follows Kraken's recent strategic acquisitions of Bitnomial and NinjaTrader, signaling a broader push to offer federally regulated derivatives and spot margin products within the United States.
