Kraken has announced the launch of the largest regulated crypto derivatives offering in Europe.
Kraken says this will enable clients and institutions in the European Economic Area (EEA) to access a full range of crypto derivatives, as well as liquid futures instruments, that are compliant with the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II).
The new offering will be supplied through Payward Europe Digital Solutions, a Cyprus-based MiFID II-regulated entity, which was acquired by Kraken earlier this year.
Head of exchange at Kraken, Shannon Kurtas, says: “The launch of Kraken’s regulated derivatives in Europe is well-timed to meet this growing demand and underscores our commitment to providing trusted, compliant access to the best markets and trading opportunities.
“With this launch, they can seamlessly trade futures as part of a full suite of products from one of the most well-established platforms in Europe.”
