After months of regulatory back-and-forth and a wave of positive policy changes around crypto, including a recent stablecoin bill, eligible U.S. account holders can now trade perpetuals with up to 10× leverage within a regulated framework.

What are Perpetual Futures?

Perpetual futures don’t expire like traditional monthly or quarterly futures contracts. Instead, they use a funding mechanism to keep contract prices in line with spot prices. These are 90% of crypto derivatives volume globally.

On Coinbase, BTC-PERP and ETH-PERP offer nano-scale exposure, perfect for risk-conscious traders who want to get in on the action without full contract size. The platform charges competitive fees as low as 0.02% so it’s open to retail and institutional traders alike.

Regulation Paves the Way

The introduction of Coinbase perpetual futures to the U.S. is a result of the changing regulatory terrain. Earlier restrictions have been relaxed following the CFTC’s approval and clarity around stablecoins and digital assets.

As Coinbase stated on X,

“The wait is over – Perpetual futures have arrived in the U.S.”

Now U.S. users can trade in a CFTC-regulated environment, just like international markets have been doing for years.

Key Features & Risks

The new contracts offer: Perpetual Contracts, that is,  No expiration dates, up to 5-year term. It also offers Leverage, that is, trading with up to 10× leverage.

The contract offers Low Fees starting from 0.02%. It is also CFTC monitored, enhancing legal compliance and security.

However, leveraged trading carries its own risk. Small price movements can lead to big losses or liquidation for over-leveraged positions. Coinbase emphasizes the need for users to fully understand the risks before trading perpetuals.

What Does This Mean for U.S. Crypto?

The Coinbase perpetual futures is a big deal for U.S. crypto infrastructure. Perpetuals are reportedly 90% of crypto derivatives volume globally so this brings domestic crypto trading more in line with international markets. It also increases the chances other U.S. exchanges will offer similar products.

Now, with Coinbase entering the fray under CFTC oversight, retail and institutional users have a domestic, compliant option.

This may not only boost Coinbase’s revenue but also bring liquidity back to the U.S. market. But traders must be careful, especially with leverage.
