Odaily News Kraken officially launched CME Bitcoin and Ethereum futures contract trading services in the United States on Thursday, marking its first entry into the U.S. compliant derivatives market. The move coincided with the passage of two landmark digital asset bills, GENIUS and CLARITY, by the U.S. Congress. The new regulations will bring a clearer regulatory framework to the industry, while further consolidating the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) as the main regulator.
At the same time, the US SEC has officially withdrawn its enforcement actions against three major crypto companies including Kraken. (Decrypt)
