Cryptocurrency exchange Kraken has officially launched Kraken Derivatives US, a regulated platform offering CME-listed futures contracts to US traders, the company announced on Tuesday.
This move follows Kraken's $1.5 billion acquisition of NinjaTrader, a futures trading provider.
Initially available in Vermont, West Virginia, North Dakota, Mississippi, and Washington, D.C., the platform integrates with Kraken Pro, allowing users to trade crypto futures alongside spot markets.
Kraken plans to further expand its offering to include stocks and options.
