We are making new pairs available for margin trading, taking our total to over 240 markets enabled for margin trading on Kraken Pro!
Margin trading is now available for two new trading pairs:
| Pair base | Pair name | Available leverage | Long limit | Short limit |
| MON | MON/USD | 3 | 4,800,000 | 4,700,000 |
| NIGHT | NIGHT/USD | 3 | 1,500,000 | 1,500,000 |
Here’s some more information about the tokens:
Monad (MON) is a next generation Layer 1 blockchain focused on high performance execution with full EVM compatibility. It achieves parallel transaction processing and low latency finality through innovative consensus and execution layers. The MON token powers validator staking, transaction fees, governance, and ecosystem growth.
Midnight (NIGHT) is a privacy focused sidechain in the Cardano ecosystem that aims to bring what it calls “rational privacy” to Web3. It uses zero knowledge proofs and a dual token model so developers can build applications that protect sensitive data while still supporting compliance and audit requirements. NIGHT is Midnight’s native governance and utility token. It is used to help secure the network, pay for services and access private smart contracts and applications that run on the Midnight chain.

Will Kraken offer more pairs on margin?
Yes! But our policy is to never reveal any details before launch – not even which pairs we are considering. All of Kraken’s listed margin pairs are available on our website. Our client engagement specialists cannot answer any questions about which pairs we may be listing in the future.
Trade with caution
There is no guarantee that a limit order will execute. There is no guarantee of margin pool availability at all times. There is also no guarantee of a market order executing at a certain price. The availability and liquidity of the particular digital asset will impact these types of orders.
