We are delighted to announce the launch of Kraken Derivatives US, a regulated American derivative offer. The launch will provide direct access to term contracts on cryptography listed on the CME via our integrated Kraken Pro trading experience.
Kraken derivatives allow us customers to exchange a full suite of future crypto alongside our vast points market offer, and instant funding allows transparent guarantee transfer. This integration gives customers a unified interface to deploy advanced strategies and effectively manage risks, all from a regulated environment supported by our advanced infrastructure.
“With this launch, Kraken customers in the United States can now exchange in the future alongside one of the most liquid cryptocurrencies in the world,” said Shannon Kurtas, head of Kraken. “This is a significant step to give merchants wide market access and increased capital efficiency in a regulated and high performance environment.”
Today’s launch marks an important step in our broader vision to build a complete multi-active trading platform. In April, we introduced commission without commission in the United States, offering access to more than 11,000 shares and ETF with 24-hour availability. We have also recently announced our tokenized actions offer.
Kurtas continued: “Kraken derivatives enrich our unified trading experience more, where digital and traditional assets are accessible side by side without compromising functionality, performance or liquidity.”
The beginnings of Kraken Derivatives US follows our acquisition from Ninjatrader, a foreground American retail platform. Later this year, we are planning to extend our offer to include basic products, fixed income securities, FX and actions on actions, more solidifying our unified position position for digital and traditional asset classes.
