Kraken First to Launch STS Digital’s Crypto Structured Products

Crypto options firm STS Digital, backed by CMT Digital, has launched a modular platform for structured products, enabling investors to create customizable investment vehicles with predefined payouts. The platform allows selection of the underlying crypto derivative, maturity, strike price, and payout structure

Kraken is the first platform to integrate STS Digital’s structured products through an API, targeting retail traders with a defined subset of products. The exchange began a soft beta rollout in select regions approximately one and a half weeks ago, as part of its expanding derivatives offerings.

Product Examples and Yield Potential

STS CEO Maxime Seiler explained that structured products include options like principal-protected notes, which provide downside protection while maintaining potential upside, and yield-enhancement notes, which generate premiums if markets remain stable. Premiums can range from low single digits to triple-digit annualized returns, depending on the structure.

STS supports over 400 cryptocurrencies and plans to add tokenized equities, FX, and commodities in 2026. The firm, regulated in Bermuda, currently has 60 employees and recently raised $30 million in strategic funding led by CMT Digital, with participation from Payward and other investors.
