NinjaTrader Group, a provider of retail futures trading services, today announced the expansion of its futures offering into Europe via Payward Europe Digital Solutions (CY) Limited (PEDSL-CY), a MiFID investment firm, launching first in the Netherlands and Germany.

Built from the ground up for futures traders, NinjaTrader delivers an experience purpose-built for futures trading that combines a best-in-class platform, compelling pricing, and integrated trader development tools and education. With more than two decades focused solely on futures trading, NinjaTrader brings a level of depth and credibility to the European market.

The expansion comes at a pivotal moment for European retail markets, as traders increasingly move toward exchange traded products in search of greater transparency, regulatory clarity, and long-term market access. Through NinjaTrader, European existing and future clients of PEDSL-CY (“EU Clients”) will be able to access futures contracts listed on regulated U.S. and European venues.

With plans to expand into additional European Union (EU) markets, including France and Italy, later this year, NinjaTrader is providing a timely, futures-native onramp as market structure continues to evolve across the region. With this offering, NinjaTrader joins other major global brokers already offering European clients access to exchange traded products, in compliance with applicable regulation.

The European expansion of its futures offering is part of NinjaTrader Group’s broader integration into the PINC Group, which includes Kraken, one of the longest standing and secure cryptocurrency platforms, serving more than 15 million clients worldwide.

The EU offering aims to accelerate global access to futures markets and positions NinjaTrader at the forefront of connecting European retail traders with international opportunities.

EU Clients will gain access to NinjaTrader’s integrated futures trading environment, including advanced charting, order flow visualization, robust quotes, execution capabilities, and full-feature futures trading simulator. Together, these tools are designed to help traders analyze markets, practice strategies, and build confidence as they transition into exchange-listed futures.

“As trader behavior evolves across Europe, traders are gravitating toward futures-first exchange traded products,” said Martin Franchi, CEO of NinjaTrader Group. “NinjaTrader pairs a powerful futures platform with competitive pricing and integrated education to help traders build skills and succeed over the long term.”

“Retail access to futures is becoming a global expectation, not a regional exception,” said Arjun Sethi, co-CEO of Kraken. “NinjaTrader’s expansion into Europe reflects a broader shift toward transparent, exchange-listed markets and the infrastructure required to support them at scale. We’re proud to support this milestone as part of our shared commitment to expanding access to global financial markets.”
