Coinbase Derivatives has announced that it will launch two new U.S. Perpetual-Style Futures on July 21. These futures contracts are meant to give U.S. traders a safe and regulated option instead of using offshore platforms.
The first Perpetual-Style Futures is the Nano Bitcoin Perpetual Futures, which represents 0.01 BTC, and the second is the Nano Ether Perpetual Futures, representing 0.10 ETH. Right now, many U.S. traders use foreign exchanges to trade perpetual futures, which can be risky due to different rules and safety issues.
These contracts will have five-year expirations, can be traded 24/7, and include a funding rate that helps keep prices close to actual market rates. Funding will happen every hour and settle twice a day.
Perpetual futures are very popular globally—they make up nearly 90% of crypto trading in some cases. Coinbase wants to offer the same kind of product to U.S. traders, but with the added safety of U.S. regulations. This makes it easier and safer for traders to manage risk, invest long-term, and size their trades efficiently.
Coinbase calls this a “transformative milestone” for U.S. crypto trading. They believe this move will lead to a new era of access and innovation in the country. They also plan to release more details soon about where and how traders can access these futures through their partners.
Earlier, Coinbase got a MiCA license from Luxembourg. This allows the company to operate across all 27 EU countries under one rulebook. It replaces the need for separate licenses in countries like Germany, France, and Italy, making it easier for Coinbase to serve about 450 million people in Europe.
