Kraken Derivatives US enables clients to trade a full suite of crypto futures alongside our extensive spot market offering, and instant funding enables the seamless transfer of collateral. This integration gives clients a unified interface to deploy advanced strategies and manage risk efficiently, all from within a regulated environment backed by our industry-leading infrastructure.
“With this launch, Kraken clients in the U.S. can now trade futures alongside one of the world’s most liquid cryptocurrency spot markets,” said Shannon Kurtas, Head of Exchange at Kraken. “It’s a meaningful step in giving traders broad market access and increased capital efficiency within a regulated and high-performance environment.”
Today’s launch marks a major milestone in our broader vision to build a comprehensive multi-asset trading platform. In April, we introduced commission-free equities trading in the U.S., offering access to more than 11,000 stocks and ETFs with round-the-clock availability. We also recently announced our tokenized equities offering.
Kurtas continued: “Kraken Derivatives US further enriches our unified trading experience, where digital and traditional assets can be accessed side by side without compromising on features, performance or liquidity.”
The debut of Kraken Derivatives US follows our acquisition of NinjaTrader, a leading U.S. retail futures platform. Later this year, we plan to expand our offering to include commodity, fixed income, FX and equity futures, further solidifying our position as a unified venue for digital and traditional asset-classes.
