Coinbase on Friday rolled out perpetual futures contracts tied to U.S. equities, becoming one of the first major centralized exchanges to offer the product and expanding its derivatives lineup beyond crypto.
The contracts cover all seven Magnificent 7 stocks — Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Nvidia, Meta, and Tesla — as well as ETF perpetuals tracking the S&P 500 (SPY) and Nasdaq-100 (QQQ) in select jurisdictions. They are available to eligible non-U.S. retail users on Coinbase Advanced and to institutions on Coinbase International Exchange.
The contracts trade around the clock, are cash-settled in USDC, and offer up to 10x leverage on individual stocks and 20x on ETF products. Like crypto perpetuals, they have no expiration date and use a funding rate mechanism to track spot prices.
