Kraken Pro launches TradFi futures trading, enabling users to trade macro and crypto from one account with 23/5 access and real-time market data

Kraken already has 24/7 xStocks perps on SPY, QQQ, NVDA — now stacking 23/5 CME-standard TradFi futures on the same underlyings creates weekend dislocation arbs baked right into the product. Cross-collateralization is the next domino: posting BTC or ETH as margin for S&P micro futures would be a capital efficiency unlock no TradFi prime broker currently offers retail. EU-only via CySEC for now, but with Robinhood already competing for the same European traders, expect the margin and collateral terms to get aggressive fast.
