Kraken Launches Flexline Fixed-Rate Crypto Loans for Pro Users

The release signals Kraken’s move into structured credit during a rebound in crypto‑backed borrowing.

Overview

  • Flexline offers fixed loan terms from two days to two years with APRs of 10% to 25% and near-instant funding in crypto or stablecoins, though loan-to-value ratios were not disclosed.
  • Borrowers post supported assets as segregated collateral that is included in Kraken’s Proof of Reserves and is not rehypothecated.
  • Kraken can liquidate collateral if maintenance requirements are breached or loans are not repaid at maturity, and early repayment is permitted but carries a fee.
  • Availability is limited by regulation, with the service unavailable in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates, Brazil, India, and New Zealand.
  • The product targets active, advanced, and institutional traders seeking liquidity without selling holdings, with proceeds deployable on Kraken Pro or withdrawable where eligible.
