Kraken plans to introduce CFTC-regulated perpetual futures contracts for U.S. institutional clients within the next 30 days. This announcement follows the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC) recent approval of Bitcoin perpetual contracts. The contracts will be available on Bitnomial, a CFTC-regulated exchange recently acquired by Kraken's parent company, Payward. While Kraken has submitted the necessary application documents, specific filings have not yet appeared in Bitnomial's CFTC records, possibly due to confidentiality requests by the company.
