Bitcoin and Kraken: A New Era of FX Perpetual Futures Trading
Crypto exchange Kraken is making waves in the financial market by launching FX perpetual futures on its Kraken Pro platform.
This new offering allows real-time trading for EUR/USD and GBP/USD pairs with an impressive leverage of up to 20x.
These instruments are pegged to Dxfeed’s Composite Forex Index, allowing for continuous trading without expiration, similar to traditional crypto perpetuals but specifically designed for forex trading.
Kraken aims to capitalize on its existing position in FX spot trading, which has seen $5.4 billion processed in 2025 alone.
The FX perps will update pricing in real-time during forex market hours and will operate under strict rules to ensure market integrity, such as zero funding requirements and a 4% price collar.
Trading is available 24/7, though index prices will respect standard forex trading hours, creating a unique blend of accessibility.
Initially, the product will be available in select regions, but Kraken has plans to expand its global availability.
Alexia Theodorou emphasized that this launch is a strategic move to diversify asset exposure for investors.
These FX perpetual futures have gone live and are now tradeable, marking a significant development in Kraken's product offerings.
As cryptocurrency continues to evolve, Kraken's innovation may open new doors for investors seeking to navigate the forex landscape.
