From today, Kraken will enable wholesale clients to acquire crypto-based derivatives via its Australian financial services licensed broker. The derivatives broker offering will provide flexibility and depth empowering eligible clients to manage risk and gain exposure to crypto price movements without holding the underlying assets.
“Over our 13 year history, we have always aspired to be one step ahead of market demand. Australian wholesale clients are looking for the ability to execute advanced trading strategies using a licensed broker backed by Kraken’s high security standards,” said Jonathon Miller, Kraken’s GM for Australia and Rest of World. “Our new premium product meets our clients’ trading needs, and helps them to advance in their crypto journey.”
With over 200 tradable assets, Kraken will offer multi-collateral support (including fiat, stablecoin and crypto) that is held in one of the most robust crypto custodial solutions available in the market and comes with round-the-clock client support services.
Miller added, “Australia has long been a cornerstone of Kraken’s global operation. Our licensed broker offering is testament to our ongoing commitment to regulatory compliance and to bring exciting crypto products to market that can truly unlock institutional demand for cryptoassets.”
Prospective Australian wholesale clients can explore this new offering via Kraken’s Support page. Existing Australian wholesale clients can confirm their eligibility to access this new offering directly from the Kraken Pro app.
