Kraken Pro Introduces U.S. Perpetual Futures for Eligible Traders
- Kraken added U.S. perpetual futures on June 15 through Kraken Pro.
- Bitnomial, acquired by Payward, holds CFTC licenses to facilitate this offering.
- Perpetual futures accounted for over $60 trillion in global trading volume in a recent year.
- Eligible U.S. traders can now manage spot, margin, futures, and perpetuals on Kraken Pro.
Kraken’s launch of U.S.-based perpetual futures marks a significant shift in accessibility for American traders who have historically been restricted from much of the global perps market. By leveraging Bitnomial’s CFTC licenses, Kraken aims to streamline trading operations by allowing users to manage various types of trades within a single account.
This development provides greater access to regulated crypto derivatives for U.S. clients while reducing the need for multiple exchange accounts and simplifying collateral management across different trading products. (Source)
