Catenaa, Tuesday, July 01, 2025-Coinbase Derivatives, the trading arm of Coinbase Global Inc., will begin offering nano Bitcoin and nano Ether perpetual-style futures contracts in the United States on July 21.
The contracts, with minimum sizes of 0.01 BTC and 0.10 ETH respectively, carry five-year expirations and trade around the clock, according to a company release.
The new contracts are designed to mirror spot market prices on Coinbase’s regulated platform, eliminating the need for US traders to use offshore exchanges and face added regulatory custody and counterparty risks.
Boris Ilyevsky, head of Coinbase Derivatives Exchange, said the onshore offering provides the same utility as offshore products with simplified expirations, capital efficient trading, and support for long-term strategies and risk management.
Coinbase agreed in May to acquire crypto derivatives exchange Deribit for $2.9 billion, and shortly after launched 24-hour Bitcoin and Ethereum futures.
The perpetual-style futures add to a market that saw $1.96 trillion in Bitcoin futures volume and $1.7 trillion in Ether futures volume in May, according to The Block’s data dashboard.
Ethereum trading reached its second highest monthly volume on record.
Regulated perpetual-style futures are expected to attract institutional and retail traders who have relied on overseas platforms to access these products.
By bringing futures trading onshore, Coinbase aims to boost trading efficiency and transparency under US oversight.
The firm did not disclose margin requirements or fee structures for the new contracts.
