Kraken has expanded its offshore with a new derivatives trading venue in Bermuda, licensed by the Bermuda Monetary Authority.
Kraken, a major global cryptocurrency exchange, has launched a new derivatives trading platform in Bermuda after securing a digital asset business license from the Bermuda Monetary Authority, <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241003985524/en/Kraken-Launches-Regulated-Derivatives-Venue-in-Bermuda" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">according</a> to a company press release.
The move comes as the U.S. <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/sec/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Securities and Exchange Commission</a> increases scrutiny on crypto exchanges, <a href="https://crypto.news/kraken-seeks-jury-trial-to-challenge-secs-securities-charges/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pushing firms</a> like Kraken to seek offshore opportunities.
With the BMA license, <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/Kraken/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Kraken</a> can now offer its clients a range of crypto derivatives, including perpetual and fixed-maturity futures, using various types of collateral, such as fiat currencies and over 30 cryptocurrencies, the release said.
Derivatives are financial contracts that allow users to speculate on or hedge against the future value of assets. They have become a key feature in crypto trading and account for most of the trading volume globally. Offering derivatives helps clients manage risk efficiently while capitalizing on market opportunities.
