Payward has filed to bring single-stock perpetual futures to US traders on Kraken.
Ten US equities to start: $TSLA$SPCX$NVDA$AVGO$MU$AAPL$MSFT$AMZN$GOOGL$PLTR
We're also working toward 24/5 trading - because stock markets close, and the events that move them don't. The goal is to give traders a way to respond when news breaks, not when the bell rings.

Payward supports the @SECGov innovation exemption.
Technology moves faster than rulemaking. That's not a flaw in either - it's why sensible exemptions matter. US competitiveness depends on Americans being able to participate in cutting-edge technology at home, not watching it get built offshore.
We look forward to working with the Commission as this moves forward.

Nasdaq Ventures is investing $100M in Payward as we advance tokenization together with the @Nasdaq Equity Token (NET) framework.
Equities on-chain only works if it's built to institutional standard from day one. We're building it with the company that's run public market infrastructure for decades.

.@Payward and @krakenfx are proud to stand with the @BlockchainAssn and the @crypto_council in support of their motion for a preliminary injunction against Illinois’s flawed Illinois Digital Tax Act.
This tax is a doozy. Condensing its many flaws into a single tweet would be challenging. Illinoisans deserve better. We hope the Court agrees.

🚨NEW: Does the Clarity Act actually have a shot at passing the Senate this month?
@krakenfx’s global head of policy and market structure, @JonathanJachym, says the remaining policy issues amount to “fine-tuning” and there is a real path forward.
But if Congress blows this window, the consequences for crypto in America could last for years.

Big skies, bigger conversations. 🏔️
For the third year, Kraken joined @SALTConference at the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, where some of the most important discussions in crypto, finance, and policy take place.
Same incredible backdrop. New ideas, new connections, and momentum we're taking home with us.
See you next year, Wyoming.
An eightfold increase in digital asset-related charter applications tells you everything about where financial services are headed. Encouraging to see the OCC engaging with that future rather than resisting it - thank you, @USComptroller for your leadership.
.@USComptroller: Digital asset innovation is flourishing under @POTUS & @SecScottBessent. More than half of @USOCC applications received for new bank charters are related to digital assets – an eightfold increase from the Biden Administration.
.@POTUS: "We're delighted to welcome some of our nation's brightest minds in finance, crypto, and technology ahead of the first-ever meeting of the @CFTC's Innovation Advisory Committee... The people in this room are ensuring that the future of commercial markets is pioneered and perfected right here in the USA." 🇺🇸
We’re back at the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium for our third year.
The event brings together leaders across digital assets, financial services, policy, and technology to discuss the developments shaping the future of the industry.
Day one is complete, with more conversations and insights to come.
Payward has joined @AnthropicAI's Project Glasswing, and are actively incorporating Claude Mythos 5, Anthropic's most capable model for finding and fixing software vulnerabilities, into our defensive cybersecurity work.
In the coming weeks, we will be using Claude Mythos 5 to scan all Payward environments for vulnerabilities, with findings feeding directly into our existing security program.
We plan to share any 3rd-party findings with the relevant project maintainers in order to make the entire crypto ecosystem stronger.
Everyone running that code gets safer, not just us.
