Coinbase derivatives, an exchange of futures regulated by CFTC, is preparing to introduce the future of bitcoin and ethereum 24/7 for US merchants.
This marks the first time that crypto futures according to coinbase.
Derivatives, which allow merchants to bet on future price movements without maintaining real asset, dominate global cryptography trade. More than 75% of the entire cryptographic negotiation volume occurs through these contracts.
However, US merchants have faced limitations due to the fixed market hours and futures contracts that expire on the established dates. These restrictions make it difficult for operators to react to changes in the market in real time.
With the 24/7 access to bitcoin's futures (btc) and ethereum (eth), US merchants will no longer have to wait for traditional market hours to administer their cryptographic exhibition. The new futures contracts will come in different sizes, attending to both retail merchants and institutions.
The Coinbase Association with Nodal Clear guarantees that these products comply with CFTC regulatory standards.
Perpetual style futures contracts
Coinbase is also developing a perpetual -style futures contract, a product widely used in international markets, but is not yet available under US regulations.
Beyond trade 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Coinbase is working on a perpetual style futures contract, which allows merchants to maintain positions indefinitely instead of dealing with expirations. Perpetual futures are widely used in global markets, but to a large extent they are not available in the United States, Coinbase says that this product will help US merchants to compete more effectively with their international counterparts.
The exchange has been working with regulators and market participants to structure these products within the legal requirements of the United States. Coinbase sees these movements as a step to make cryptographic derivative markets more competitive and accessible.
