Kraken has launched Flexline, a flexible borrowing solution that allows Kraken Pro users to access liquidity by using their digital asset holdings as collateral without selling their positions.
Announced on February 25, 2026, Flexline enables traders to post a wide variety of supported cryptocurrencies as collateral to instantly receive crypto or stablecoins. Unlike many restrictive lending products, Flexline allows for full withdrawal support, meaning borrowed funds can be used for trading on Kraken or moved off-platform to other venues and decentralized finance ( DeFi) protocols.
The service offers loan terms ranging from two days to two years, providing a bridge for traders who need working capital but wish to retain long-term exposure to their assets. All collateral is held in secure, segregated wallets and is integrated into Kraken’s Proof of Reserves program, ensuring that assets are backed 1:1 and remain cryptographically verifiable.
“Flexline gives Kraken Pro traders the ability to put their holdings to work… It’s about expanding optionality and giving traders the flexibility to move at their own pace,” says Darius Tabatabi, Head of Exchange Trading at Kraken.
