The offering covers three contract types, according to a post by UK and international vice president Keith Grose. Perpetuals span the full 170-plus assets, carry no expiry date, trade around the clock and go up to 50x leverage.
Derivatives are coming to Coinbase in the UK 🇬🇧
Eligible professional investors can soon access:
→ Futures→ Perpetuals→ Options
Across 170+ contracts in crypto, FX, equities, and commodities, with up to 50x leverage.
Dated futures settle on fixed dates, price cost-of-carry in at entry instead of charging funding rates, and cap out at 20x. Crypto options, limited to crypto underlyings, cover calls and puts across single and multi-leg strategies, with payoff diagrams built into the interface.
Grose framed the launch as part of the firm’s "Everything Exchange" strategy, an attempt to fold crypto, stocks, derivatives and prediction markets into one app. Coinbase said global crypto derivatives volume routinely runs at 4.4 times that of spot markets, a gap it argues leaves professional traders reliant on venues outside regulated markets.
A rapid rollout
