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.

๐Ÿ”ธ Up to 10x leverage

๐Ÿ”ธ 0.02% taker fees

๐Ÿ”ธ No monthly expirations

๐Ÿ”ธ 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 20โ€“50x 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.

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ โ€œWeโ€™re not ready to let crypto derivatives trading be a non-US phenomenon,โ€ said Max Branzburg, Head of Products.
