Industry reports indicate that Kraken's parent company has recently made two compliance-related moves: jointly filing with Kalshi to launch single-stock perpetual contracts with the SEC and CFTC, and providing Hyperliquid with regulated accounts through which U.S. users can trade.
Industry reports indicate two new developments by Kraken's parent company in the U.S. crypto derivatives compliance space. First, in partnership with Kalshi, it has filed applications with both the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to launch single-stock perpetual contracts. Second, it is providing Hyperliquid with regulated accounts, enabling U.S. users to trade through them.
Kalshi and Kraken's parent company have jointly applied to launch single-stock perpetuals. The product is seen as a pioneering compliant instrument bridging traditional finance and crypto derivatives, drawing attention from both regulators and the market. The applications have been submitted, with further developments pending disclosure.
Hyperliquid gains a compliant U.S. entry through Kraken's parent company. Through the regulated accounts provided, U.S. users will be able to trade under a regulated framework. The arrangement is considered a significant step for Hyperliquid's entry into the U.S. market and could have far-reaching effects on its ecosystem and the competitive landscape.
In both cases, Kraken's parent company played a crucial role: as a co-filer for the new product application and as a compliance channel for external protocols to enter the U.S. market. This collaborative model reflects an ongoing effort in crypto derivatives to bring innovation and compliance together.
