Kraken is thrilled to announce the launch of Kraken Derivatives US, a fully-regulated U.S. derivatives offering that provides seamless access to both cryptocurrency futures listed on the CME and our highly-liquid crypto spot markets. This groundbreaking development marks a significant milestone in our quest to create a unified trading platform where digital and traditional assets can coexist harmoniously.
With Kraken Derivatives US, U.S.-based clients will now have the ability to trade an extensive range of cryptocurrency futures alongside their existing access to commission-free equities trading in the country. This unprecedented fusion of markets and products empowers traders with unparalleled flexibility and risk management capabilities.
“We’re ecstatic about this development,” said Shannon Kurtas, Head of Exchange at Kraken. “Kraken Derivatives US is a major step forward in our vision of providing traders with a comprehensive multi-asset trading experience. By integrating crypto futures with our renowned spot market liquidity, we’re enabling clients to deploy advanced strategies and manage risk more efficiently.”
The new service has been carefully crafted within the regulatory framework set by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and is a member of the National Futures Association (NFA). This ensures that all trades are conducted in a secure, reliable, and transparent environment.
Kraken Derivatives US is backed by our industry-leading infrastructure and is fully integrated with our existing suite of products and services. Clients can now seamlessly transition between crypto spot markets and regulated derivatives, allowing for maximum flexibility and control.
This development marks the next chapter in Kraken’s commitment to innovation and client empowerment. By providing unparalleled access to a range of markets and instruments, we’re further solidifying our position as a leading global digital asset exchange.
