Kraken Pro Launches Margin Trading for BNB, AVNT and STBL
Kraken Pro has added three new USD margin trading pairs—BNB/USD, AVNT/USD and STBL/USD—bringing its total to over 230 markets enabled for margin trading. Each pair offers up to 3x leverage with specific position limits: 50 BNB for BNB/USD (long and short), 18,000 AVNT for AVNT/USD (long only) and 30,000 STBL for STBL/USD (long only). Traders must hold collateral, meet eligibility criteria and pay fees for opening, closing and holding margin trading positions. Kraken confirms more pairs are coming but keeps details confidential. Users should trade with caution due to execution, liquidity and market risks. Token overviews: BNB is the native token of BNB Chain; AVNT powers the Avantis DEX on Base; STBL is an RWA-backed stablecoin. See Kraken’s Margin Disclosure for full terms.
Bullish
The addition of BNB/USD, AVNT/USD and STBL/USD margin trading pairs on Kraken Pro is a bullish signal for the market. Expanding to over 230 margin markets enhances platform liquidity and attracts traders seeking diversified leveraged strategies. Historically, when Kraken and other exchanges listed major tokens like ETH for margin trading, trading volumes spiked and volatility increased, benefiting both fee revenue and market depth. In the short term, traders may open new leveraged positions in these tokens, driving volume. Over the long term, the move reinforces Kraken Pro’s competitive edge, encouraging further product adoption and possibly prompting other platforms to follow suit, supporting sustained bullish momentum.
