Coinbase Financial Markets, the regulated derivatives division of Coinbase, has introduced regulated crypto futures trading for retail investors in the US. This move allows eligible US customers on the Coinbase Advanced platform to trade Bitcoin and Ethereum futures contracts. The company received regulatory approval in August to offer crypto derivatives to retail traders. By offering smaller contract sizes, Coinbase aims to make futures trading more accessible to a broader range of traders with less upfront capital. Previously, futures trading was only available to institutional investors and sophisticated traders, but now retail traders can use futures to speculate on price movements, hedge risk, and gain exposure to crypto with leverage. Currently, futures trading is available on Coinbase’s website, with plans to add support to its mobile apps in the future. To access futures, users need an existing Coinbase spot trading account.
