Coinbase Expands Regulated Futures Offering With New Crypto Contracts



Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN) is continuing to expand its regulated derivatives offering in the United States, introducing a new set of crypto futures contracts designed to serve both retail and institutional traders. The latest products broaden the exchange’s coverage of major digital assets while remaining fully compliant with US regulatory standards.


Alongside the new listings, Coinbase plans to launch similar futures contracts for a range of cryptocurrencies, including Avalanche (AVAX), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Chainlink (LINK), Hedera (HBAR), Litecoin (LTC), Polkadot (DOT), Sui (SUI), and Stellar (XLM). The move strengthens Coinbase’s position as a regulated gateway for derivatives exposure to large-cap digital assets in the US market.


In addition, Coinbase confirmed that monthly futures contracts for Dogecoin (DOGE), Cardano (ADA), and Shiba Inu (SHIB) will begin trading on December 5. These products will be available seven days a week, including weekends, reflecting global perpetual futures markets while adhering to domestic regulatory requirements.


All futures contracts offered by Coinbase are governed by Commodity Futures Trading Commission guidelines and are structured to meet current US derivatives regulations. By offering perpetual-style exposure within a regulated framework, Coinbase aims to meet strong market demand while lowering compliance barriers for institutional participants.


Regulated futures markets are widely seen as a key driver of liquidity and price discovery. Their expansion often attracts institutional capital, as regulated instruments reduce legal and operational risks compared to offshore alternatives.


Institutional interest in these assets continues to grow in parallel. A Grayscale Dogecoin exchange-traded fund is expected to be listed on NYSE Arca in late November, while a similar Cardano-based product remains under regulatory review. Asset managers are also exploring exposure to Shiba Inu, with T. Rowe Price recently applying for a crypto index fund that includes SHIB.


The availability of regulated futures contracts may help accelerate the evaluation and approval process for such investment products by providing clearer market data and price benchmarks.


These new launches build on Coinbase’s earlier introduction of perpetual-style Bitcoin and Ethereum futures. As demand for regulated crypto derivatives continues to rise, the exchange is steadily scaling its offerings, reflecting the growing maturity of the US digital assets market and increasing alignment with traditional financial infrastructure.

AML Fines Surpass SEC Cases, Elevating Crypto Regulatory Risk

Anti-money-laundering enforcement has overtaken securities violations as the principal regulatory threat facing crypto firms, according to CertiK’s State of Digital Asset Regulations report. The U.S. Department of Justice and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network together imposed more than $1 billion in AML-related fines during the first half of 2025. The development signals a sharp regulatory pivot away from the Securities and Exchange Commission-led enforcement cycle that once dominated crypto compliance discourse. CertiK notes that SEC crypto-specific penalties collapsed in value, falling from $4.9 billion in 2024 to about $142 million in 2025, a trend the firm attributes to shifts in policy priorities and jurisdictional focus. According to CertiK’s findings, transaction-monitoring and licensing lapses are now generating penalties that rival or exceed many prior securities cases. High-profile settlements illustrate the trend: the Department of Justice’s February 2025 resolution w...
