BlockBeats news, on July 22, Coinbase officially announced that starting from July 21, 2025, U.S. users will be able to trade CFTC-regulated perpetual futures through the Coinbase Financial Markets (CFM), making this the largest global trading volume derivative type available on the platform.
Coinbase stated that for many years, U.S. cryptocurrency traders could only watch as their international counterparts used one of the most popular tools in the digital asset market—perpetual futures. This innovative type of derivative offers higher leverage and does not require dealing with monthly expiration dates, accounting for 90% of global cryptocurrency trading volume. Due to a complex regulatory environment, U.S. traders have been unable to participate. But this situation is about to change.
