Kraken launches US crypto derivatives platform in wake of NinjaTrader acquisition
Kraken Derivatives US launched after the exchange’s acquisition of futures platform NinjaTrader earlier this year.
Crypto exchange Kraken has launched a derivatives platform for US traders, offering access to CME-listed cryptocurrency futures and expanding the availability of institutional-grade trading tools.
On Tuesday, the exchange announced the launch of Kraken Derivatives US, providing access to futures contracts via the Kraken Pro platform. The move expands Kraken’s product suite by expanding futures trading alongside its existing spot market offerings.
According to Kraken Pro, access to Kraken Derivatives US has been rolled out initially in Vermont, West Virginia, North Dakota, Mississippi and Washington, D.C.
