Kraken launches U.S. perpetual futures trading
CoinDesk·
Kraken has introduced CFTC-regulated perpetual futures to its U.S. customer base via Kraken Pro, marking a significant expansion of crypto derivatives offerings within the United States. This move follows recent regulatory guidance that permits regulated platforms to list such products and Kraken's strategic acquisitions of futures infrastructure, including Bitnomial. Initially, these perpetual futures will support major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana, with plans to broaden the contract selection and collateral options over time. This development aims to bring a substantial portion of the global crypto derivatives market, which saw over $60 trillion in volume last year, onshore.
