Futures Prop Firm Tradeify Launches Retail Brokerage, Partners with Kraken’s NinjaTrader

Tradeify has launched Slay Markets, a retail brokerage operated by Tradeify Brokerage LLC, marking its expansion from prop evaluation to live retail futures trading. The firm signed an exclusive clearing and technology agreement with NinjaTrader (acquired by Kraken), which will act as sole futures commission merchant and provide clearing, execution, custody and infrastructure via its Connect platform. The Slay Markets waitlist opened on May 19, 2026, with early access for existing funded traders and broader retail rollout planned in the coming weeks. Market impact: the move deepens the vertical integration of prop firms into retail brokerage pipelines, increases direct access routes for traders to CME Group futures, and strengthens NinjaTrader/Kraken’s role in US retail futures infrastructure.
