Crypto Exchange Kraken已同意以15億美元的價格收購美國零售期貨平台Ninjatrader。

What Happened: After rumors of the deal emerged earlier this year, Kraken announced the completion of the acquisition of NinjaTrader, a leading provider of futures trading technology and services.

發生的事情是：在今年早些時候出現了這筆交易的謠言之後，克雷肯宣布完成了收購Ninjatrader的收購，後者是期貨交易技術和服務的領先提供商。

The acquisition marks a significant milestone for Kraken as it seeks to expand its customer base by introducing new investment categories.

此次收購標誌著Kraken試圖通過引入新的投資類別來擴大客戶群的重要里程碑。

Through this merger, Kraken will retain its status as a 24/7 trading platform, while NinjaTrader, established in 2003, will continue serving around 2 million traders worldwide with its advanced trading tools.

通過這次合併，Kraken將保留其作為24/7交易平台的地位，而成立於2003年的Ninjatrader將繼續使用其先進的交易工具為全球大約200萬交易者提供服務。

Both platforms are registered with relevant financial authorities. NinjaTrader has FCM status with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and Kraken holds global licenses from the U.K., EU, and Australian financial regulators.

這兩個平台均在相關的財務當局註冊。 Ninjatrader在商品期貨交易委員會中具有FCM狀態，Kraken擁有英國，歐盟和澳大利亞金融監管機構的全球許可證。

This transaction also marks a unique event as it brings together the largest traditional financial structures with crypto operations.

這項交易也標誌著一個獨特的事件，因為它匯集了最大的傳統金融結構，並通過加密貨幣運營。

The acquisition grants Kraken several advantages. It can now offer crypto futures and derivatives within the U.S., a capability facilitated by NinjaTrader's FCM license.

此次收購授予了Kraken的幾個優勢。現在，它可以在美國境內提供加密期貨和衍生品，這是由Ninjatrader的FCM許可證促進的。

Moreover, NinjaTrader can expand its operations to the U.K., EU, and Australian markets due to the global licenses held by Kraken.

此外，由於Kraken持有的全球許可證，Ninjatrader可以將其運營擴展到英國，歐盟和澳大利亞市場。

The new system will allow trading in three asset categories: cryptocurrencies, futures, and conventional financial instruments.

新系統將允許三個資產類別的交易：加密貨幣，期貨和常規金融工具。

With this acquisition, customers will gain access to both NinjaTrader's professional trading platforms and Kraken's renowned crypto liquidity.

通過此次收購，客戶將訪問Ninjatrader的專業交易平台和Kraken著名的加密流動性。

"This acquisition is a critical part of Kraken's broader business strategy," said Arjun Sethi, co-CEO of Kraken.

Kraken聯合首席執行官Arjun Sethi說：“此次收購是Kraken更廣泛的業務戰略的關鍵部分。”

"Traditional market operations are still largely confined by outdated banking systems, limiting trading hours and introducing time lag in transaction settlement. In contrast, the crypto market offers 24/7 trading with instant and efficient execution, a key advantage for traders."

“傳統的市場運營仍然在很大程度上受到過時的銀行系統的限制，限制了交易小時並引入交易結算的時間滯後。相比之下，加密貨幣市場以即時有效的執行方式提供24/7的交易，這是交易者的關鍵優勢。”

"This strategic move marks the initial step in developing a platform that will enable users to trade any asset at any time," Sethi added.

Sethi補充說：“這一戰略舉動標誌著開發一個平台的第一步，該平台將使用戶隨時交易任何資產。”

The financial sector is undergoing a transformation with this merger, combining the efficiency of modern crypto transactions with the breadth of traditional financial systems.

金融部門正在與這次合併進行轉變，將現代加密交易的效率與傳統金融系統的廣度相結合。

Many traders will be following the integration of the two platforms and the launch of Kraken's multi-asset platform.

許多交易者將遵循兩個平台的集成以及Kraken的多資產平台的推出。
