Coinbase has launched stock perpetual futures for eligible non-US users, expanding its offering of crypto, equities, and prediction markets.
The launch comes as perpetual futures have gained broader adoption, with monthly volumes on decentralized exchanges exceeding US$1.2 trillion in 2025, as investors used perps to manage risk amid flat spot markets.
“Everything Exchange” Adds Equity Perpetuals Abroad
The company said in a blog post on Friday that the product is not available to US persons at this time, but it is “working to expand this offering to additional regions in the future.”

The contracts are accessible on Coinbase Advanced for retail users and Coinbase International Exchange for institutions. They provide leveraged, cash-settled exposure to major US stocks and indices, including Apple and Nvidia, in a format familiar to crypto traders.

The launch follows Coinbase’s earlier moves to offer regulated crypto futures and 24/5 cash equities in the US, alongside Kalshi-powered prediction markets in all 50 states. The company has described its platform as an “everything exchange” where users can switch between tokens, stocks, and event contracts.
Equity Perpetuals Available Outside United States
Stock perpetuals form a central part of Coinbase’s 2026 strategy, which emphasizes stablecoins, its Base layer-2 network, and a multi-asset brokerage model.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said in January that the company’s top priority is to expand the everything exchange globally across crypto, equities, prediction markets, and commodities, covering spot, futures, and options.
Currently, the equity perpetuals are available only to non-US customers. In Europe, Coinbase launched perpetual futures for Coinbase Advanced users in 26 countries under its Markets in Financial Instruments Directive entity earlier in March.
