Kraken has launched Europe’s largest regulated crypto derivatives market, offering MiFID II-compliant instruments through a licensed investment firm.
Kraken, a significant crypto platform globally, is expanding into the European Economic Area (EEA) by providing access to diverse futures instruments, including perpetual and fixed maturity contracts.
The move is aimed at meeting the growing demand in Europe, which is noted for being one of the fastest-growing regions for digital asset trading and investment, serving sophisticated clients and institutions.
The new derivatives platform by Kraken will be accessible through Payward Europe Digital Solutions (CY), a Cyprus-based entity fully regulated under MiFID II, offering clients a comprehensive regulated framework.
