Relentless demand for crypto derivatives has prompted a pivotal shift in U.S. markets, as a new domestic solution emerges to challenge offshore alternatives. Crypto exchange Coinbase (Nasdaq: COIN) announced on June 26 that it will launch U.S. Perpetual-Style Futures on July 21, introducing a regulated product suite that mirrors international perpetual futures while complying with U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regulations.

“On July 21, Coinbase Derivatives will launch US perpetual-style futures: a U.S. futures product suite that will closely track spot prices, offer leverage, and remain compliant with CFTC regulations,” the crypto exchange stated, emphasizing:

This will be one of the first products of its kind in the U.S. and aims to fill a critical gap in the domestic derivatives market.

The offering begins with nano bitcoin (0.01 BTC) and nano ether (0.10 ETH) contracts, designed to reduce the dependence on offshore platforms and bring long-duration futures trading under U.S. regulatory protection.

These futures are structured with five-year expirations, 24/7 trading access, and a funding mechanism that aligns them closely with spot prices. Funding accrues hourly and settles twice a day, ensuring ongoing price integrity. The crypto firm noted that the contracts aim to replicate the functionality of global perpetuals while allowing for capital-efficient strategies and flexible position sizing.

Although initially targeted at institutional users, Coinbase indicated that retail expansion will follow. “We are excited to continue our expansion of these products to retail users in the coming months,” the company revealed. “We’re incredibly proud to bring perpetual-style futures to the US – a transformative milestone that will represent the beginning of a new era in US market access, efficiency, and innovation,” the firm concluded.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong reinforced the development on social media platform X, stating:

You asked for it, we built it. Perpetual-style crypto futures are coming to the U.S. on July 21. Starting with BTC and ETH. No quarterly expiration, available 24/7, with spot price tracking. Fully CFTC compliant.
