Kraken Pro Launches BTC and ETH Options for Eligible EEA Clients
Eligible EEA clients can trade options through their existing derivatives account, with shared collateral and an appropriateness assessment.
Kraken announced BTC and ETH options on Kraken Pro on October 26, 2026. Eligible clients in EEA countries where Kraken offers derivatives can use their existing derivatives account on web and mobile.
The European-style options settle in USD. Portfolio margin is enabled by default, with collateral shared with futures and more than 30 accepted currencies. Orders use requests for quotes, supporting up to five legs.
Clients must complete an appropriateness assessment. Buyers can lose their entire position value; sellers can lose more than posted margin, potentially without limit. Changing margin requirements can lead to liquidation. Availability is regional. Kraken notes that its MiCA custodian (PESL) and its MiFID broker (PEDSL-CY) each act only within their own regulatory permissions.
