Kraken has announced plans to launch the first CFTC-regulated perpetual futures for U.S. traders within the next 30 days. This new offering will allow eligible clients to trade perpetual futures on Kraken Pro, providing access to a key segment of the crypto derivatives market that has previously been limited for U.S. traders. Perpetual contracts, which provide continuous exposure to an underlying asset without an expiration date, are the most traded derivatives in the digital asset space, with an estimated annual trading volume exceeding $60 trillion in 2025. The contracts will be listed on Bitnomial, a CFTC-regulated exchange, and will feature continuous pricing and an eight-hour funding rate. Eligible clients can trade a range of major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL), all integrated into a single interface alongside existing spot and margin trading options. Kraken's Global Head of Derivatives, John Palmer, emphasized the importance of this launch in providing U.S. traders with a regulated, domestic way to access these products, which are critical to the global crypto derivatives market.
