- On Tuesday, Kraken introduced Kraken Derivatives US, a regulated crypto futures platform for U.S. traders accessible through Kraken Pro, following its $1.5 billion acquisition of the futures trading company NinjaTrader in March.

- Kraken Derivatives US offers U.S. customers the ability to trade CME-listed bitcoin, ether, and solana futures through a consolidated platform that supports rapid movement of funds between spot and futures accounts.
- Shannon Kurtas, Kraken’s Head of Exchange, announced that U.S.-based users can now access futures trading on the platform, complementing one of the most active cryptocurrency spot markets globally, with a range of contract expiration dates and a competitive 0.5 basis point commission.
- Kraken intends to broaden its derivatives lineup later this year by incorporating futures linked to physical goods, debt instruments, foreign currencies, and stocks, striving to offer a comprehensive platform that integrates both digital and conventional financial products.
