Coinbase Adds 50x Crypto Perps to Base App Through Hyperliquid
Coinbase is adding leveraged crypto perpetual futures to Base App for eligible users, with trading powered by Hyperliquid. The product offers more than 290 perpetual markets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, tokenized stocks, and commodities, with leverage of up to 50x depending on the asset. Perps let traders speculate on price moves without owning the underlying asset and without contract expiration, but losses can trigger liquidation. Coinbase says the feature meets strong user demand and lets users access advanced trading tools while keeping self-custody. The offering is not available in the U.S., U.K., Canada, or other restricted jurisdictions. The launch reflects Base App’s shift away from its earlier social-and-creator focus toward trading, payments, prediction markets, stablecoins, and AI agents.
