Coinbase is launching perpetual futures linked to major U.S. stocks and indices for non-U.S. users, expanding beyond the firm’s crypto-focused offering. The products provide 24/7 trading with leverage and are settled in USDC using crypto derivatives infrastructure. The move responds to rising demand for uninterrupted equity access and signals Coinbase’s push to blend traditional and digital markets.
The contracts include the Magnificent 7 — Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Nvidia, Meta and Tesla — along with ETF-based products tracking benchmarks such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100. Traders can leverage up to 10x on individual stocks and up to 20x on ETF contracts.
Perpetual futures have no fixed expiry and trade around the clock, including weekends, with prices kept aligned to the underlying assets. The system relies on Coinbase’s risk controls and cross-margining across positions as part of a broader effort to blend traditional markets with digital assets within a single trading ecosystem.
