Coinbase to Roll Out CFTC-Compliant Perpetual Futures in the U.S.
The post Coinbase to Roll Out CFTC-Compliant Perpetual Futures in the U.S. appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Coinbase is launching CFTC-approved perpetual futures in the U.S., giving traders 24/7 access to leveraged crypto, with full regulatory backing.

That’s not a small change—it shows just how big this market really is. This is a big shift on the compliance front. Perps have mostly lived on offshore or loosely regulated platforms, but now they’re getting pulled into the U.S. system with real oversight. The CFTC handles crypto derivatives the same way it does commodity futures, which means things like trading rules, margin checks, clearing, and anti-manipulation policies are actually enforced.
