Recognizing the importance of futures across a breadth of trading strategies, we embedded all the advanced functionality of futures.kraken.com in the intuitive and dynamic user experience of Kraken Pro. By empowering you to manage all your crypto trading activity — including spot, margin, staking, and now futures — from a unified interface, we believe that Kraken Pro has once again set the industry standard.
