Kraken has launched a new feature allowing users to spend beyond their cash balance when making purchases on the platform. **How it works:** - Cash balance is used first for transactions - [Kraken Borrow](https://app.kraken.com/JDNW/buy_more) automatically covers any remaining amount - Single transaction with one price and confirmation - No need to sell existing holdings This feature integrates Kraken's lending service directly into the purchasing flow, enabling users to access additional buying power without liquidating their crypto positions. The service aims to provide more flexibility for traders who want to maintain their current holdings while making new purchases.

Kraken has launched its crypto debit card in partnership with Mastercard, allowing users to spend directly from their trading accounts. **Key features:** - Up to 2% cashback in BTC or fiat currency - Zero fees on transactions - Support for 600+ currencies - Direct spending from Kraken trading balance The card builds on Kraken's previous peer-to-peer payments app, Krak, expanding the exchange's offerings beyond trading into everyday spending. Users can apply for the card through the Kraken app, though geographic restrictions apply. This move positions Kraken alongside other exchanges offering crypto-linked payment cards, making it easier for users to bridge their crypto holdings with traditional spending.

Kraken has integrated onchain trading functionality directly into its main application, allowing users to trade cryptocurrencies on-chain without leaving the platform. **Key Features:** - Native onchain trading now accessible within the Kraken app - Eliminates need for separate wallets or external platforms - Streamlines the trading experience for users This integration represents a significant step in making decentralized trading more accessible to mainstream users. By bringing onchain capabilities into their primary interface, Kraken reduces friction for users who want to interact with blockchain networks directly. The move comes as European markets prepare for MiCA regulatory changes, positioning Kraken to serve both centralized and decentralized trading needs from a single platform.
