Payward’s $550 million acquisition of Bitnomial strengthens its CRYPTO / BLOCKCHAIN infrastructure by giving Kraken and NinjaTrader access to a fully CFTC-licensed U.S. crypto derivatives platform.

It also signals that crypto exchanges are moving deeper into compliant, institutional-grade trading products rather than relying solely on spot markets.
