Kraken Launches AKT/USD Margin Trading Pair

Kraken has added the AKT/USD margin trading pair, with a maximum leverage of 3x and a limit of 72,000 available for both long and short positions. AKT is the native token of Akash Network, a decentralized open-source cloud computing marketplace that rents out idle computing power through a reverse auction mechanism, often used for GPU-intensive workloads such as AI and machine learning. Margin trading requires holding at least one type of collateral, and additional fees apply to opening, closing, and holding positions, with the risk of loss of principal.
