PANews reported on June 1st that, according to Cointelegraph, Kraken announced it expects to launch CFTC-regulated perpetual futures contracts to institutional clients in the US within the next 30 days, just hours after the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) approved Bitcoin perpetual contracts. These contracts will be listed on Bitnomial, a CFTC-regulated exchange recently acquired by Kraken's parent company, Payward. Kraken stated it has submitted the relevant application documents, but as of Sunday, no specific documents were found in Bitnomial's CFTC filings. It's worth noting that companies frequently request confidentiality regarding their application documents.

Previously, on May 29, it was reported that the CFTC approved Bitcoin perpetual contracts, officially opening the compliant Perps market in the United States .
