Kraken is planning to launch a US-regulated Bitcoin perpetual contract in the next 30 days
On June 1, cryptocurrency exchange Kraken announced it will launch a regulated Bitcoin perpetual contract product for U.S. institutional clients within 30 days, following the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)’s approval of a Bitcoin spot price-pegged perpetual futures contract.
Once cleared, the product will go live on Bitnomial Exchange—a CFTC-regulated trading platform recently acquired by Kraken’s parent company, Payward. Back in April, Payward revealed it would buy crypto derivatives platform Bitnomial for up to $550 million, a move to expand its presence in the crypto derivatives market.
Coinbase also quickly followed suit after the CFTC’s green light: the firm will now offer U.S. institutional clients access to global crypto options and perpetual futures markets via its futures brokerage business. As the U.S. regulatory framework for crypto grows clearer, competition in the domestic crypto perpetual futures market is heating up fast.

The Iranian President has submitted his resignation to the Office of the Supreme Leader
June 1 — London-based Iran International TV, citing a source with knowledge of the matter, reports that Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has officially submitted his resignation request to the Office of the Supreme Leader.
The source said in the Sunday letter, Rouhani stressed that the president and his administration have been effectively barred from the country’s major and critical decision-making processes. This power vacuum, he added, has allowed hardline factions within Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to take charge of key situations.
Rouhani further stated that under these circumstances, he is unable to manage the government or meet his legal obligations, so he has requested an immediate resignation. It is still unclear whether Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei will accept the resignation, but the letter’s contents signal a profound, unprecedented rift at the highest levels of Iran’s leadership.
