With the launch of CME futures trading, Kraken enters the compliant derivatives market, aligning with new regulatory frameworks from Congress.
Kraken has officially launched CME Bitcoin and Ethereum futures trading in the U.S. through its Kraken Derivatives US platform, coinciding with the passing of the GENIUS and CLARITY digital asset bills. This move enhances market access and capital efficiency for traders, as the SEC has also dropped enforcement actions against Kraken and two other major crypto firms, signaling a more favorable regulatory environment for the industry.
