Crypto lending on the Kraken exchange
Against the backdrop of the cryptocurrency price decline in 2022 and the overall market uncertainty, the Kraken crypto exchange has decided to expand its financial services for professional traders. The company has launched a new product called Flexline, which allows exchange users to borrow against their digital assets at fixed rates.
Kraken's flexible lending terms include 3-month to 2-year loan periods and rates from 10% to 25% APR, depending on the loan amount and term. This provides an opportunity for experienced traders and investors to finance their trading activity or obtain funds for other purposes without selling their crypto assets.
Such crypto-backed lending products are becoming increasingly popular among exchanges and other financial institutions operating in the crypto industry. They allow digital asset holders to obtain liquidity without losing ownership of their coins or tokens.
