Kraken rolls out perpetual futures for US traders through CFTC-regulated venue

Kraken has launched perpetual futures trading for eligible US users through Bitnomial, the federally regulated derivatives exchange it acquired earlier this year, marking another step in the push to bring crypto derivatives trading back onshore. The products are available through Kraken Pro and include contracts tied to major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, XRP, Cardano, Chainlink, Dogecoin, Litecoin and Avalanche. Kraken said the contracts use the same futures wallet as its existing CME-listed crypto futures products, allowing traders to manage both positions from one account. The launch follows recent CFTC movement around regulated US perpetual futures, including approvals and no-action relief tied to Kalshi and Coinbase, as US platforms compete for a market long dominated by offshore venues.

US government watchdog urges FDIC to coordinate on crypto oversight

The US Government Accountability Office has urged the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to coordinate more closely with other federal agencies on blockchain-related financial risks. In a letter to FDIC Chair Travis Hill, the GAO said regulators still lack an “ongoing coordination mechanism for addressing blockchain risks,” even as blockchain-based financial products and services have expanded. The watchdog also pointed to the FDIC’s future role under the GENIUS Act, which makes it the main regulator for stablecoin issuers that are subsidiaries of FDIC-supervised banks. The GAO separately recommended rotating FDIC case managers assigned to banks, arguing that the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, Silvergate Bank and Signature Bank raised questions about supervisory independence and whether regulators acted quickly enough.

Trump crypto company’s USD1 stablecoins backing UFC event bonuses

World Liberty Financial, the crypto company linked to the Trump family, has confirmed that UFC will pay up to $250,000 in fighter bonuses using USD1, its dollar-pegged stablecoin, during the UFC Freedom 250 event on the White House lawn. The event, part of the United States’ semiquincentennial celebrations, has drawn criticism from lawmakers over its reported $60 million price tag and from Democrats over potential conflicts of interest. World Liberty’s USD1 briefly traded above $1, while 24-hour trading volume jumped sharply. The article notes that World Liberty has already faced scrutiny over Trump’s financial ties, a pending OCC national trust charter application, and the use of USD1 in a planned $2 billion Binance-related investment by a UAE company.

These Bitcoin charts show how BTC price could hit $100K before October

Bitcoin chart technicals suggest BTC could still rebound toward $100,000 before October, with traders watching a potential double-bottom structure, weekly RSI divergence and whale flows. The article says BTC rebounded from below $60,000 and returned toward the $67,000 area after a preliminary US-Iran truce revived risk appetite and eased pressure from oil and inflation fears. The key level is a resistance confluence near $66,700; a breakout above that zone would strengthen the case for a move higher. The setup centers on the $60,000 support area, which has now held multiple times in 2026, suggesting buyers are defending that demand zone during broader market corrections.
