Coinbase Derivatives to Launch Nano Perpetual Futures for XRP and Solana

Coinbase Derivatives is set to expand its offerings with the debut of nano perpetual-style futures for XRP and Solana (SOL) on August 18th. These new products, building on Coinbase’s recent launch of perpetual futures in the US, are designed with small contract sizes to significantly reduce the capital required for participation.

Unlike traditional futures that have monthly expirations, these nano perpetual futures are long-dated contracts set to expire only after five years. This initiative began with the successful launch of nano Bitcoin futures (0.01 BTC) and nano Ether futures (0.10 ETH). A key highlight of these products is their fully regulated status, offering US customers a compliant alternative to previously unregulated offshore platforms for accessing crypto futures. Additionally, these new offerings will support up to 10x leverage.

In related news, Gemini, another major US exchange, recently added XRP, Solana (SOL), and Shiba Inu (SHIB) as collateral for margin trading. Furthermore, the Teucrium 2x Long Daily XRP ETF (XXRP) has seen considerable interest, recently exceeding $300 million in net inflows.
