Margin trading using extensions in fiat is now restricted for Kraken clients who reside in Australia, unless they are classified as a Wholesale Investor (as defined by the Corporations Act 2001). These restrictions do not affect margin trading using extensions in cryptoassets.
Margin trading using extensions in fiat is only available to Australian clients who demonstrate that they meet the definition of a Wholesale Investor as set out in the Corporations Act 2001 (see Requirements section below). Australian clients who meet this requirement must provide supporting evidence via this form to access margin trading using extensions in fiat.
Kraken is committed to expanding its product offering and is working on additional eligibility pathways for fiat margin extensions in the coming months.
