Coinbase introduces derivative contracts in Canada
Eligible Canadian traders can access regulated derivatives contracts on Coinbase.
Direct native crypto futures will be offered through Coinbase Financial Markets (CFM) in Canada. These capital-efficient perpetual and dated contracts allow sophisticated investors to trade, speculate, and hedge on the Coinbase platform.
The launch of derivatives contracts on Coinbase offers eligible Canadian investors access to highly liquid and regulated contracts including:
- 23 perpetual and dated futures such as Bitcoin, ETH and SOL;
- Five commodity futures including Gold, Silver and Oil
- And index futures like COIN50.
As digital assets become increasingly integrated into the Canadian financial landscape, this expansion gives sophisticated traders the opportunity to leverage risk-management tools that were previously only available to major financial institutions.
All derivatives are offered by Coinbase Financial Markets, Inc. (“CFM”), a registered futures commission merchant with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). With nano-sized contracts designed for lower upfront capital requirements and up to 10x leverage, traders can go long or short to speculate on market direction.
