Kraken has officially launched regulated cryptocurrency derivatives trading across the European Economic Area (EEA) on May 20.​ This milestone follows their strategic acquisition of Greenfield Wealth in Cyprus.​

Key developments:

  • Users can now trade perpetual and fixed maturity contracts
  • Operations comply with MiFID II license requirements
  • Service available throughout the EEA region

This expansion marks a significant step in establishing compliant crypto trading infrastructure in Europe, building on Kraken's February 2025 announcement of obtaining their EU MiFID license.​
