Coinbase International Unveils Retail Access to Perpetual Futures Trading

A New Milestone for Coinbase International Exchange

Coinbase International Exchange, which launched in May 2023 with a primary focus on non-US institutions, has achieved another significant feat. The exchange has now gained the green light from the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA) to usher in non-US retail customers into the realm of perpetual futures trading. This move will soon allow qualifying customers to explore regulated perpetual futures contracts through Coinbase Advanced.

Global Derivatives: A Vision in Collaboration with Regulators

The recent decision aligns with the second phase of Coinbase’s “Go Broad, Go Deep” initiative. This initiative’s crux is the formation of a crypto regulatory blueprint in tandem with prominent global authorities. While Coinbase’s roots and public listing are firmly based in the US, it remains committed to playing a pivotal role in rejuvenating the global financial system. With the newly granted permission, Coinbase aims to provide enhanced financial liberation and chances to users globally.

A Trusted Name Amidst the Global Crypto Derivative Surge

While several crypto platforms face tightening regulatory nooses, Coinbase stands tall, having garnered timely approvals. The global crypto derivatives sphere accounts for approximately 75% of the worldwide crypto trade volume. This whopping figure underscores the immense appetite for derivatives. Yet, only a handful of exchanges, like Coinbase, ensure the safety and clarity required by traders.

The perpetual futures contracts available on Coinbase International Exchange abide by stringent compliance criteria and have already witnessed a staggering $5.5 billion in notional trading volume by institutions till the second quarter. The exchange’s adherence to the BMA’s solid regulatory groundwork ensures that it upholds supreme risk management, compliance, and user safeguarding practices.
