Coinbase is preparing to launch the first ever CFTC-regulated perpetual crypto futures in the US, available for trading from July 21.
First CFTC-Regulated Product in the US
Coinbase is making a groundbreaking move for US traders. The perpetual crypto futures scheduled for July 21 will provide global-style flexibility while remaining compliant with local regulations.
Unique Features of the New Futures
The futures will be offered in nano-sized versions—0.01 BTC and 0.10 ETH—making them accessible to a wider range of traders. Each contract will feature:
* Funding rates to keep prices aligned with market values * 24/7 access for continuous trading without market closures * Built-in leverage to amplify positions with risk controls.
Regulatory Compliance and Market Impact
With increasing scrutiny on offshore trading platforms from US regulators, Coinbase’s solution presents a compliant alternative. It is expected to attract both retail and institutional players seeking advanced crypto tools within a regulated environment.
The launch of the new perpetual futures signifies a major step in the evolution of crypto derivatives in the US and expands Coinbase's product line.
