US EditionKraken Rolls Out Regulated Crypto Derivatives in Europe
- Kraken launched regulated crypto derivatives trading across Europe on May 20, 2025, under its Cypriot MiFID II license.
- Kraken obtained this license by acquiring a Cyprus-based investment firm earlier this year, enabling the company to operate within the European Economic Area and expand its reach across EU markets.
- The offering includes perpetual and fixed maturity futures on major cryptocurrencies and supports institutional-grade infrastructure and local fiat on-ramps.
- Shannon Kurtas, Kraken’s head of exchange, highlighted that the contracts see daily trading volumes ranging from $1 billion to $2 billion and emphasized that European customers will be trading contracts that already experience substantial activity.
- Kraken’s move may encourage broader regulatory frameworks and institutional adoption in Europe, signaling a maturing market with improved investor protections.
