Kraken Shakes Up U.S. Markets: Derivatives Trading Launches with Eyes on 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.
