Coinbase Expands Crypto Futures Trading Across Europe

Coinbase has officially rolled out crypto futures trading for users across 26 European countries, including Germany, France, and the Netherlands. The platform’s Advanced users can now access a suite of derivatives through its MiFID-regulated entity, marking Coinbase’s first direct offering of futures in the region.

Product Offerings and Trading Features

The new product lineup includes perpetual style futures with five-year expiries, as well as dated contracts with monthly and quarterly expirations. Perpetual futures use an hourly funding system to keep prices aligned with the underlying assets. Dated contracts are cash-settled at expiry and marked to market daily. Traders can access up to 10x leverage on select contracts such as bitcoin and ether, while other instruments offer leverage between 4x and 5x. The platform also introduces innovative products like the “Mag7 + Crypto Equity Index Futures.”

Eligibility and Account Funding

To trade futures, users must complete eligibility checks including trading experience verification and know-your-customer requirements. Accounts can be funded using euros or the USDC stablecoin.

This launch aligns with Coinbase’s broader strategy to create an “exchange for everything,” including stock trading, prediction markets, and tokenization of traditional assets.
