Crypto trading is generally well understood, but what if you're looking for more advanced features to power your strategies? That's where margin trading comes in.
Opening a spot position on margin (also called "margin trading") can amplify your exposure to market volatility, giving your trading strategies even more flexibility. Kraken offers over 100 margin-enabled markets for you to buy (go "long") or sell (go "short") Avalanche with up to 3x leverage.

Avalanche margin trading lets you buy and sell AVAX on Kraken using funds that could exceed the balance of your account. Unlike futures and derivatives trading, spot margin trading involves buying or selling the actual underlying assets, rather than financial contracts.
For example:
Suppose you fund your account with $5,000 USD. Using an extension of margin from Kraken, you could buy or sell $10,000 USD worth of AVAX/USD on the AVAX/USD order book with this account.
With Kraken, Avalanche margin trading is intuitive and accessible. Easily trade up to 3x leverage on liquid markets whether you're placing a market or limit order.
