Crypto exchange Kraken Exchange has officially launched perpetual futures trading for US customers.
The CFTC regulated to offer gives eligible US customers access to Kraken Pro in addition to spot, margin and CME-listed futures.
Perpetual futures allow traders to hold long or short exposure to cryptocurrencies indefinitely, with significant global volume exceeding $60 trillion per year last year.
“Until now, US traders have had limited regulated options for access, with most activity taking place offshore. Today’s launch brings that activity onshore through a CFTC-regulated location…
We plan to expand the contract set and product functionality over time, including broader collateral options.”
At launch, eligible customers will be able to trade a range of major digital assets including BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, LINK, DOGE, LTC and AVAX.
