Kraken Pro went live on Monday with 70 traditional finance futures markets for eligible EU clients, adding listed macro products to a platform that already hosts more than 290 crypto perpetuals.

The launch means equity index, commodity and FX futures now sit alongside crypto derivatives in the same account and interface. Active traders can run activity through the same account rather than a separate futures venue.

The products are offered through Payward Europe Digital Solutions (CY) Limited, Kraken’s Cyprus-based investment firm, which is regulated by CySEC. Clients must complete an eligibility assessment and unlock derivatives before trading in the products.

What is available

The 70 markets span micro, mini and standard contracts on equity indices including the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, plus gold, oil and major FX pairs. Kraken said the contracts follow the CME Group extended trading schedule of 23 hours a day, five days a week, from Sunday evening through Friday afternoon ET.

EU clients can react to macro events outside cash equity hours, beside crypto markets that run 24/7.

Funded TradFi futures wallets receive free real-time Level 1 market data, with optional Level 2 available for deeper order book visibility.

The move extends a trajectory Kraken began in May 2025 when it launched what it called Europe’s largest regulated crypto futures offering under the MiFID II framework. The acquisition of retail futures platform NinjaTrader, now part of Kraken’s parent organisation PINC Group, provided additional infrastructure.

TradFi futures are the next layer in that build-out, moving Kraken Pro toward a multi-asset brokerage model.
