Kraken Expands Horizons with the Launch of FX Perpetual Futures in Crypto Trading
Crypto exchange Kraken has announced the launch of FX perpetual futures, marking its foray into the forex market.
These new products offer 24/7 trading on major forex pairs, starting with EUR/USD and GBP/USD.
Unlike traditional forex offerings, FX perpetual futures do not expire, providing flexibility akin to crypto futures trading.
Kraken aims to cater to institutional and professional traders by enhancing exposure to fiat markets through its crypto-centric platform.
The launch aligns with the growing convergence between crypto and traditional finance, as Kraken previously introduced commission-free trading for U.S. stocks.
According to Alexia Theodorou, head of derivatives at Kraken, the platform is evolving to meet investors' needs for a unified trading experience across multiple asset classes.
In 2024, Kraken's clients generated $5.4 billion in FX spot trading volume, indicating robust interest in forex markets.
Additionally, Kraken's collaboration with Mastercard will enable users in the U.K. and Europe to spend their cryptocurrencies at millions of global merchants.
This development positions Kraken as a significant player in the evolving landscape of integrated financial trading solutions.
As the lines between crypto and traditional finance continue to blur, Kraken's innovative offerings may well attract a broader audience of traders.
