Coinbase targets stock futures but CFTC standstill blocks launch
Summary
Coinbase Derivatives proposed cash-settled perpetual futures linked to individual US stocks and ETFs, with trading planned from Sunday evening through Friday afternoon. Contracts would provide price exposure without share ownership and could require funding payments, with product-specific terms set separately. The proposal is not an available product: the CFTC still lists it as approval pending, and Coinbase has not announced a launch or finalized contract terms.
