⚡️🔥 Kraken debuts U.S. perpetual futures as crypto derivatives move onshore

Kraken began offering regulated perpetual futures to U.S. customers, marking a significant step in bringing one of crypto's most popular trading products into the country after years of activity concentrated on offshore venues.

➡️ The contracts are available through Kraken Pro and are listed on Bitnomial, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)-regulated exchange acquired earlier this year by Kraken's parent company, Payward. Traders can access the products alongside spot trading, margin trading and CME-listed crypto futures through a single interface.

❗️Perpetual futures, often called "perps," allow traders to take long or short positions on assets such as BTC without owning them and without a contract expiration date. Unlike traditional futures, positions can remain open indefinitely as long as margin requirements are met.

At launch, Kraken's perpetual futures cover major cryptocurrencies including BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, LINK, DOGE, LTC and AVAX. The company said it plans to expand the range of contracts and collateral options over time.
