Kraken will launch the US’s first CFTC-regulated perpetual futures contracts for eligible traders on Kraken Pro within 30 days. This shift brings a popular crypto derivative onshore under regulatory oversight.
Once live, traders can access perpetual futures on various digital assets, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL). Integrating these contracts into Kraken Pro streamlines the trading experience for spot and margin products.
Perpetual futures are the most traded digital asset derivatives globally, with the market's annual trading volume expected to exceed $60 trillion by 2025. This launch marks a significant maturation of the US crypto market, providing a compliant alternative to offshore platforms.
The CFTC-regulated futures will be available for trading in the coming month, opening a new avenue for American traders to engage with crypto derivatives directly on Kraken Pro.
