Kraken, a major cryptocurrency exchange in America, has just announced support for CME futures through Kraken Derivatives US, connecting users to CME, CBOT, NYMEX, and COMEX. This allows trading in traditional markets such as S&P 500, Nasdaq, gold, oil, and major currency pairs, in addition to Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana futures. The platform serves both individual and pro customers, providing market data at tiered levels and a standard fee of 0.5 basis points per transaction.
This move reflects the converging trend between traditional finance and crypto, as exchanges expand beyond digital assets and develop into “multi-functional exchanges” with real assets being tokenized. Kraken directly competes with brokerage firms like Charles Schwab. Recently, Kraken launched tokenized US stocks on Ethereum via xStocks and trades over 11,000 US stocks and ETFs for domestic users, with plans for international expansion. The exchange reports a trading volume of 1.5 billion USD per day and 664 billion USD in 2024.
