Kraken Parent Company Files for Regulated Stock Perpetual Futures
Payward, the parent company behind Kraken, has filed to launch single-stock perpetual futures for eligible US traders. The product would launch with 10 equities and offer 24/5 trading hours, similar to crypto derivatives markets.
This would allow traders to react to overnight news, earnings releases, and global events in real time rather than waiting for the opening bell.
The specific stocks that would be available at launch haven't been disclosed publicly. Neither have the leverage limits or the exact timeline for going live.
