Kraken Debuts Derivatives Trading in U.S., Plans Expansion to Commodity, Stock Futures

Kraken just flipped the switch on U.S. derivatives trading—and Wall Street barely blinked. The crypto giant’s latest move isn’t just about Bitcoin options; it’s a Trojan horse for a full-scale assault on traditional finance.

Commodities? Stocks? Kraken’s coming for them all.

The playbook: Leverage crypto’s 24/7 chaos to outmaneuver legacy markets still stuck in the fax-machine era. No IPO fanfare, no regulatory spoon-feeding—just a silent rollout that’s already rattling the CME’s coffee cups.

One problem: The SEC’s enforcement division now has 47 new reasons to lose sleep. Bonus jab: Goldman Sachs interns are furiously Googling 'what’s a blockchain?' as we speak.
