9-5-2025 – Coinbase Derivatives, LLC, a subsidiary of Coinbase Global Inc., has introduced continuous Bitcoin and Ethereum futures trading on its US platform, regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Launched on 9 May 2025, this initiative marks a bold step towards providing US traders with seamless, 24/7 access to crypto derivatives, a privilege previously constrained by rigid trading schedules and contract expirations.
This development is poised to reshape the dynamics of the US crypto market. By offering uninterrupted trading opportunities, Coinbase aims to bolster liquidity and attract a surge in domestic trading activity. The move is expected to draw institutional investors, who have long sought a compliant and robust framework for engaging with cryptocurrency derivatives. Operating under stringent CFTC oversight, Coinbase’s platform provides a secure and regulated environment, reinforcing confidence among market participants.
Historically, American traders have often relied on offshore exchanges, such as Binance, to access perpetual futures due to limited domestic offerings. Coinbase’s latest venture seeks to reverse this trend, bringing popular derivative products into a regulated US ecosystem.
