Coinbase launches stock perps
Coinbase rolled out 24/7 perpetual futures on major U.S. stocks for non‑U.S. customers — tickers include Tesla, Apple and Nvidia with up to 10x leverage. ( )
Coinbase published its product announcement on March 20, 2026, and said the new contracts are available on Coinbase Advanced for retail traders and on its International Exchange for institutional customers. (coinbase.com) The initial lineup extends beyond the three names already reported to include Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN) and Meta Platforms (META), and the firm is offering ETF-linked perpetuals tied to benchmarks such as SPY and QQQ in eligible jurisdictions. (theblock.co) Coinbase confirmed the contracts are cash-settled in USD Coin (USDC) and that ETF perpetuals on the venue can use up to 20x leverage. (coindesk.com) The exchange said the new stock perpetuals will share the same risk engine that underpins its crypto derivatives and support cross-margining across perpetual futures and spot positions. (coincentral.com) As part of the rollout, Coinbase has put a short-term promotional program on the product including a roughly $200,000 rewards pool and temporary fee reductions, according to company-linked reporting.
