Kraken adds forex perpetual futures contracts to its Pro platform
Cryptocurrency Exchange Kraken has introduced perpetual exchange contracts (Forex) to its Kraken Pro platform on April 18, giving traders an exhibition more to the world money markets.
The first two perpetual FOREX FOREX contracts available on the platform will be the Euro-US Dollar (EUR-USD) and British Pound-US Dollar (GBP-USD) contracts, according to an announcement from the company.
The two contracts include a 20x lever effect and no expiration date, which means that they do not have to be launched or established by a deadline, unlike traditional term contracts, which have an expiration date.
Kraken’s move is the last of a series of expansions from the company, because it seeks to blur the border between digital assets and traditional financial products – a trend reflected in the cryptography industry.
