Trade the S&P 500 with our money using Kraken Prop

Kraken Prop has introduced the S&P 500 as its second TradFi market, following the Nasdaq 100, as part of a broader multi-asset expansion. The S&P 500 is now available across all Kraken Prop evaluation and funded accounts, accessible by searching “SP” in the app. Unlike standardized futures contracts, the S&P 500 market is perpetual, priced off an index oracle that tracks the same 500 large-cap US companies as the benchmark index.

The addition of the S&P 500 means Kraken Prop now supports the two most widely traded equity indexes in the futures-prop industry. Positions remain open over weekends and do not require rollover or forced exits before expiry, unlike many futures-prop platforms tied to exchange session hours. This structure removes traditional trading calendar constraints, offering continuous market access on a regulated exchange.

Kraken Prop’s equity index markets, including the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, are designed to appeal to traders from TradFi backgrounds. Index markets tend to exhibit lower volatility compared to crypto, which may support higher evaluation pass rates for participants. The funded-trading structure remains consistent with Kraken Prop’s existing model, now extended to a second major index.

Existing Kraken Prop users can immediately access the S&P 500 market, while new traders can begin evaluations to qualify for funded accounts. Prospective participants must search “SP” in the app to locate the market. The evaluation program includes rigorous risk-management and strategy-discipline requirements, with no guarantee of passing or future success. Maximum drawdown limits and non-refundable fees apply per challenge rules.
