Partnership with Nodal Clear

Coinbase has partnered with Nodal Clear to implement USDC as margin collateral in regulated U.S. futures trading. The pilot project is set to launch in 2025.

Regulated Market and Outlook

Support from Coinbase Custody Trust and involvement from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) provide confidence that the new initiative will comply with existing regulations and standards. This will mark the first instance of a regulated stablecoin used in the U.S. derivatives market.

Great to see progress on using USDC on Coinbase. This is the first time we’ll see USDC used as collateral in U.S. futures markets - and we will work closely with the CFTC to make this happen.Brian Armstrong

Impact on Stablecoins

The initiative aims to demonstrate that stablecoins like USDC can be effectively integrated into the existing financial infrastructure. The use of USDC is expected to enhance settlement speed and collateral management efficiency.

The integration of USDC into futures trading could be a significant step towards expanding the use of stablecoins in the U.S. financial system.
