Kraken has started offering perpetual futures trading to eligible US customers through Bitnomial, the federally regulated derivatives platform it bought earlier this year. This expands Kraken’s US derivatives options and brings a popular crypto trading product to a regulated US market.
The new contracts are available on Kraken Pro and include major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, XRP, Cardano, Chainlink, Dogecoin, Litecoin, and Avalanche. Traders can use the same futures wallet they already use for Kraken’s CME-listed crypto futures.
Perpetual futures are different from traditional futures because they do not expire. They are now a leading product worldwide, with trillions of dollars traded each year. Until recently, most trading happened on offshore exchanges because of regulatory uncertainty in the US.
Kraken’s launch comes as more US platforms work to bring crypto derivatives trading onshore. Recent regulatory changes have encouraged exchanges to offer new products within current rules.
Over the past year, Kraken has steadily grown its US offerings, starting with CME-listed futures and later adding margin trading. This latest move strengthens its position in the competitive derivatives market.
Industry experts see regulated perpetual futures as a big step forward. These products could attract both retail and institutional traders who want more transparency and oversight, while still having access to advanced trading tools.
US perpetual futures are live on Kraken Pro.
16 contracts. No-expiration. Trade 24/7.
