[Kraken Pro Launches 100x Leverage BTC and ETH Perpetual Contracts] Odaily Planet Daily News: Kraken announced that its Kraken Pro platform has increased the maximum leverage for Bitcoin and Ethereum perpetual contracts from 50x to 100x. This applies to the PF_XBTUSD and PF_ETHUSD USD cash-settled perpetual contracts, with the products continuing to support 24/7 trading. According to the announcement, 100x leverage is currently available to international users in eligible regions without the need to migrate accounts or submit additional applications. Existing Kraken Pro contract users can directly access this feature. The leverage mechanism adopts a tiered model: for BTC contracts, the first $1 million in notional position can utilize up to 100x leverage, with the portion exceeding this amount automatically adjusted to a lower leverage tier. For ETH contracts, the first $500,000 in notional position is eligible for up to 100x leverage. The platform emphasizes that the leverage adjustment is not a "one-size-fits-all" switch but is dynamically tiered based on the expansion of position size.
