Coinbase Launches CFTC-Regulated Perpetuals in the US
#Coinbase has officially launched perpetual futures trading for U.S. users under CFTC regulation, starting with nano Bitcoin and Ether contracts.
๐ธ Up to 10x leverage
๐ธ 0.02% taker fees
๐ธ No monthly expirations
๐ธ Available via Coinbase Financial Markets, not the offshore exchange
This move brings offshore-style perps onshore with added regulatory clarity. While leverage is capped below the typical 20โ50x found on platforms like #Binance or Bybit, Coinbase aims to appeal to U.S. traders seeking compliance, custody protections, and reliable infrastructure.
With derivatives making up 75% of global crypto volume, Coinbase positions itself as a serious contender in the space โ especially following its $2.9B acquisition of Deribit.
๐ฃ๏ธ โWeโre not ready to let crypto derivatives trading be a non-US phenomenon,โ said Max Branzburg, Head of Products.
