Coinbase, the largest publicly traded crypto exchange in the United States, has announced plans to launch “perpetual-style crypto futures” for U.S. retail and institutional users beginning July 21, 2025. This marks a major expansion of derivatives offerings inside the U.S. crypto market.
Unlike traditional futures that expire on a set date, perpetual futures are a type of derivative contract that never expires, allowing traders to speculate on the price of cryptocurrencies with leverage—mirroring the model popularized by platforms like Binance and Bybit.
“We’re introducing a regulated, U.S.-compliant path to access perpetual-style futures—a product the global crypto market has used for years,” Coinbase said in a statement.
Why This Matters
This move brings one of the most sought-after trading instruments to the U.S. under regulated conditions, giving Coinbase a strategic edge over competitors as it caters to more advanced traders seeking leverage, liquidity, and hedging tools.
Key features of Coinbase’s offering:
-
Perpetual-style BTC, ETH, and SOL contracts
-
Up to 5x leverage (initially, with limits based on user tier)
-
Fully regulated under CFTC guidelines via Coinbase Derivatives Exchange
-
24/7 trading access
“It’s a significant step toward merging traditional finance with crypto-native strategies in a regulated environment,” said [Insert Analyst Name], derivatives researcher at CentBit.Online.
Market Implications
Coinbase’s U.S. futures debut may increase:
-
Trading volume onshore, reducing reliance on offshore platforms
-
Institutional participation, given regulatory clarity
-
Liquidity and price discovery in the spot and derivatives markets
Bitcoin and Ethereum both saw slight gains after the announcement, with BTC hovering around $104,000 and ETH rebounding above $5,100.
Impacts for Bangladesh and Regional Traders
While crypto futures trading is restricted in Bangladesh under current law, Coinbase’s new regulated model sets a template for safe, legal access to derivatives—paving the way for future financial innovation.
“Perpetual futures are essential tools in modern finance. This U.S. move could help Bangladesh build frameworks for secure digital derivatives in the future,” said [Insert Your Name], founder of CentBit.Online.
Bangladeshi developers, fintech entrepreneurs, and educators can take this as an opportunity to study global market structures and prepare for long-term policy modernization.
Conclusion
Coinbase’s launch of perpetual-style crypto futures in the U.S. represents a major evolution in regulated crypto trading. As digital asset infrastructure matures, platforms like Coinbase are building the foundation for institutional-grade, globally accessible financial systems.
