Kraken Launches Flexline: A Flexible Borrowing Solution for Crypto Traders

Kraken has introduced Flexline, a new borrowing solution that allows Kraken Pro users to access liquidity by using their digital asset holdings as collateral without the need to sell their positions. This service was announced on February 25, 2026, and it enables traders to post a wide range of supported cryptocurrencies as collateral to instantly receive crypto or stablecoins.

Unlike many traditional lending products, Flexline offers full withdrawal support. This means that borrowed funds can be used for trading on Kraken or transferred off-platform to other venues and decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols. The service provides loan terms that range from two days to two years, making it a suitable option for traders who need working capital but want to maintain long-term exposure to their assets.

All collateral is kept in secure, segregated wallets and is integrated into Kraken’s Proof of Reserves program. This ensures 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.
