Kraken launches Unified Wallet for EEA clients on Kraken Pro

  • —Unified Wallet merges spot, margin, Earn and futures balances into one shared collateral pool
  • —Over 40 cryptocurrencies, USD, EUR and XAU count toward futures margin automatically
  • —Cross margin is the default; isolated margin remains available for linear Multi-M contracts
  • —Enabling it is a self-serve switch in account settings and can be reversed anytime
Why it matters: Shared collateral boosts capital efficiency, but in cross margin mode losses on futures can draw on the entire eligible balance.
