Coinbase is taking a big leap in the regulated derivatives market, now offering perpetual futures contracts for SOL (Solana) and XRP (Ripple) to U.S. traders.
🔑 Key Highlights
Up to 5x leverage available ⚡
No monthly expiry dates – contracts last up to 5 years
Fully U.S.-compliant, giving traders a safer option compared to offshore platforms
💡 What This Means
For the first time, American traders don’t need to rely on unregulated exchanges like WhiteBIT or Binance for perpetuals. Coinbase provides a secure, regulated alternative, opening access to two of the most traded altcoins—Solana and Ripple.
📈 Market Outlook
This expansion strengthens Coinbase’s position in the derivatives market. Both retail and institutional traders are paying attention, as the platform creates a safer, more transparent environment for long-term futures trading.
👉 With $SOL and $XRP now part of Coinbase’s futures lineup, the competitive gap between U.S. and offshore markets just got narrower.
