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.

🔸 Up to 10x leverage

🔸 0.02% taker fees

🔸 No monthly expirations

🔸 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 20–50x 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 — especially following its $2.9B acquisition of Deribit.

🗣️ “We’re not ready to let crypto derivatives trading be a non-US phenomenon,” said Max Branzburg, Head of Products.
