$USDC USDC, a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar created by Circle and Coinbase, will become collateral for futures trading in the U.S. as part of a joint initiative by Coinbase Derivatives and Nodal Clear.
On Wednesday, the companies announced that USDC will now be accepted as collateral for margin futures trading, a move designed to encourage the adoption of stablecoins in regulated derivatives markets.
The integration is subject to approval by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and Coinbase Derivatives and Nodal Clear are working with the authority to introduce USDC into the U.S. futures market.
Coinbase Derivatives and Nodal Clear aim for the debut of USDC as eligible collateral for U.S. futures at some point in 2026.
Nodal Clear, a CFTC-regulated derivatives clearing organization, is part of the EEX Group, which is owned by the German multinational Deutsche Börse. Coinbase Derivatives is also a designated contract market registered with the CFTC that lists contracts for trading derivatives based on an underlying commodity.
In May, Nodal Clear began offering support for trading certain cryptocurrency futures contracts on Coinbase Derivatives Exchange (CDE), including Bitcoin (BTI) futures, Ether (ETI) futures, nano Bitcoin (BIT) futures, and nano Ether (ET) futures.
