Kraken Launches Crypto Futures in Europe Under MiFID II

Kraken has expanded its reach into the European crypto derivatives market by launching a suite of regulated products under the MiFID II framework. This move grants eligible clients and partners across the EEA access to perpetual and fixed maturity contracts through Payward Europe Digital Solutions, a Cyprus-based firm acquired by Kraken earlier this year. The platform emphasizes institutional-grade infrastructure, local fiat on-ramps, and a range of collateral options for risk management and capital efficiency.
