A Bold Step into Mainstream Crypto Derivatives
In a significant move for retail and institutional traders, Pi Network perpetual futures are now officially live on Kraken, one of the top global crypto exchanges.
U.S.-based traders can now access Pi Futures with up to 20x leverage, offering both new opportunities and high risk in the digital asset space.
This development represents a milestone for the Pi Network, which aims to build a decentralized, user-first cryptocurrency accessible from mobile devices.
Kraken’s Expansion into Perpetual Futures
Kraken’s decision to list Pi Network perpetual futures signals growing institutional trust in the project’s liquidity and long-term potential.
“We’re seeing significant interest in Pi from our derivatives traders,” said a Kraken spokesperson. “The addition of perpetuals helps meet that demand in a regulated environment.”
Perpetual futures allow traders to speculate on Pi’s price without owning the underlying asset, and the 20x leverage lets them amplify both profits and potential losses.
Pi Network’s Rising Momentum
Launched as a mobile-first cryptocurrency, Pi Network has amassed over 47 million users globally, many of whom mine the token using smartphones.
“This listing on Kraken futures is a validation of Pi’s growing ecosystem,” said one of Pi Network’s community moderators.
With no official token launch on major blockchains yet, the move into derivatives markets sparks debate over the utility and future price action of Pi.
High Leverage: High Risk, High Reward
Traders should note the inherent risk of using leverage in crypto futures. At 20x leverage, a 5% price move against your position could result in liquidation.
“Only experienced traders should use high leverage products,” warned Kraken’s risk advisory team. “Always use stop-loss tools and understand the volatility of newer assets like Pi.”
U.S. Traders: A Rare Opportunity
Most U.S. crypto exchanges limit access to high-leverage products due to regulatory scrutiny. Kraken’s move to offer Pi Futures with 20x leverage to verified U.S. users sets it apart.
“This is one of the few regulated platforms offering such access in the U.S.,” said a crypto compliance analyst.
What’s Next for Pi Network?
The Pi Network team has not yet announced when its token will be fully tradable on public blockchains, but its growing presence in futures markets hints at major updates ahead.
“We believe Pi has a long-term place in the crypto economy,” Kraken said. “This listing is just the beginning.”
