Catenaa, Sunday, July 06, 2025-Coinbase Global Inc. will launch US-regulated perpetual-style futures for Bitcoin and Ether on July 21, marking one of the first offerings of compliant perpetual futures contracts in the domestic market long dominated by offshore platforms.
The announcement comes as Coinbase’s shares surged to an all-time closing high of $375.07 on Thursday amid growing demand for regulated crypto products.
The new contracts include nano Bitcoin (0.01 BTC) and nano Ethereum (0.10 ETH) perpetual futures that track spot prices closely, offer leverage, and comply fully with Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) rules.
The move addresses a regulatory gap forcing US-based traders to rely on offshore exchanges, exposing them to risks related to regulation, custody, and counterparties.
Industry experts note the launch aligns with a crypto-friendly regulatory shift under the Trump administration encouraging innovation.
Coinbase’s stock has climbed 50% this year, becoming the first crypto company in the S&P 500 and reflecting investor confidence in regulated crypto infrastructure.
Analysts have raised price targets, citing expansion into Europe and deeper integration of USDC stablecoins.
