Kraken to acquire NinjaTrader: Introducing the next era of professional trading

Mar 20, 2025 12:00 pm Cryptocurrency 25

This acquisition strengthens our position as a 24/7, always-on technology platform built for professional traders, making us a leader in U.S. futures for both traditional and crypto markets. It also accelerates Kraken’s multi-asset-class ambitions, which include plans for equities trading and payments.

Founded in 2003, NinjaTrader provides advanced futures trading tools to nearly two million traders and operates as a CFTC-registered Futures Commission Merchant (FCM). This transaction marks the largest-ever deal combining traditional finance (TradFi) and crypto.

NinjaTrader is a trusted hub for professional futures traders. With this acquisition, strategic benefits include:

U.S. futures – NinjaTrader’s CFTC-registered FCM license allows Kraken to offer crypto futures and derivatives in the U.S.

Unlocked global regulatory licensing and growth – Kraken’s U.K. MiFID, EU MiFID and Australian securities licenses accelerate NinjaTrader’s expansion into the U.K., Europe and Australia.
