First ever US perpetual futures are live for all traders, including retail! 6.6x margin. 8 hour funding rate and no monthly charges. No expiry in a couple years. We are chunking through the early access list so if you haven’t received your invite yet, hold tight.

Payward has filed to bring single-stock perpetual futures to US traders on Kraken. Ten US equities to start: $TSLA $SPCX $NVDA $AVGO $MU $AAPL $MSFT $AMZN $GOOGL $PLTR We're also working toward 24/5 trading - because stock markets close, and the events that move them don't. The goal is to give traders a way to respond when news breaks, not when the bell rings.

Payward 🤝 @HyperliquidX We're building permissioned Hyperliquid HIP-3* markets for US clients.

We're acquiring @Bitnomial. The first fully CFTC-licensed derivatives exchange built from the ground up for crypto. Not retrofitted. Not adapted. Built for this. Pair that with Kraken's global client base, @NinjaTrader's reach, and Payward's liquidity - and regulated crypto derivatives just got a serious upgrade in the US. blog.kraken.com/news/payward…

2026 is the year when US markets finally catch up to international markets in terms of both product types and asset listings, starting with @Aptos . @Bitnomial uniquely combines perps, spot, options, futures, and now prediction markets on a single federally regulated exchange and collateral pool. Time to scale!

🚨 @Bitnomial announces the launch of the first-ever U.S. Aptos (APTS) futures on Bitnomial Exchange, LLC on Jan. 14 A regulated futures market is a prerequisite for spot crypto ETF approval under the SEC's generic listing standards. Today is one step closer to a U.S. Aptos ETF.

The prediction markets industry has been in desperate need of a neutral clearinghouse... until now. @Bitnomial Clearinghouse is the most fully capable neutral clearinghouse in the US.

Digital assets are finally being recognized as first-class margin collateral in the same way so many other assets are in the U.S. for both bank-affiliated and independent FCMs! An incredible upgrade to U.S. competitiveness globally!

“Fifteen years ago, Congress passed important reforms to strengthen U.S. markets after the great financial crisis, including the requirement that leveraged retail commodity trading can only occur on futures exchanges. But the CFTC never implemented this critical customer protection reform by providing regulatory clarity on how to list these retail exchange traded products despite years of market demand. Instead, the CFTC chose regulation by enforcement rather than making clear rules of the road, resulting in huge fines that targeted the crypto industry but did not protect the retail public by giving them a safe place to trade.” — @CarolineDPham
