Institutions in the US and other eligible regions can now access global crypto derivatives through Coinbase Prime.
Spot. US futures. Custody. Financing. And now, global options and perps.
All in one place, with a unified view of positions and consolidated reporting.
No more tradeoffs.
One regulated access point to spot, US futures, global options and perps. One margin framework. Assets held in qualified custody, now backed by an OCC-approved federal charter.
Why Coinbase is the best place for institutions ↓
It’s still early for stablecoins.
Their market cap is measured in hundreds of billions of dollars, but they’re starting to scale.
@bretttejpaul sees this new wave of adoption moving fastest with payment providers and then spreading across the banking system.
Banks like @Citi and @PNCBank are laying the groundwork, together with Coinbase.

The federal standard in digital asset custody.
Custody has been foundational to @coinbase for over 14 years. We safeguard more than 12% of the total crypto market cap.
The OCC-approved Coinbase National Trust Company builds on the foundation we set with NYDFS to bring a uniform federal framework to our custody services.
We’re helping banks adopt stablecoins.
@PNCBank's institutional clients can now receive USDC payments.
24/7 markets have been live on Coinbase Derivatives for 18 months.
At FIA Expo, @Coinbase Derivatives CEO Eelke Jan Tuininga joined industry peers to discuss what the broader market still needs to make around-the-clock trading the industry standard.
Collateral mobility is the #1 obstacle to adoption. The solution? Our new USDC-native clearinghouse settles 24/7, so collateral can move when markets do.
Markets also need:
→ Steady demand
Operating 24/7 carries real cost; providers need volume to justify it. With retail participation rising and event-based hedging growing, demand continues to build.
→ Weekend liquidity
Quality market makers providing depth across every asset.
→ Risk controls
Safeguards that hold through large weekend moves.
The broad crypto market (as represented by the COIN50 Index) fell 9.33% in October, driven by hot inflation readings, elevated interest rates, and broad-based risk-off sentiment across asset classes.
In our monthly COIN50 recap thread, we review market performance, catalysts, and more.
Binance’s reported hot wallet incident has understandably left customers asking how Coinbase protects customer assets from something similar happening here.
Here are five key measures we take to safeguard the $375+ billion of assets on the Coinbase platform:
1. Keeping most assets offline: Over 99% of customer assets are held in cold storage.
2. Applying protections to how assets move: To help verify that fund movements match their intended purpose we use multiple layers of protection including distributed key protection, rate limits, anomaly detection, and kill switches.
3. Holding all customer assets 1:1. We never lend or use those assets unless customers instruct us to.
4. Employing an industry-leading security team. Coinbase is held to the standards of the largest financial institutions: Our U.S. custodian is a fiduciary under New York law, and in Europe Coinbase is authorized under MiCA and supervised by Luxembourg's CSSF.
5. Continuously improving safeguards and monitoring for threats: AI is rapidly changing the security landscape, and, in response, Coinbase will continue to invest in best-in-class security innovation.

Users come to Coinbase to keep their money secure. We make sure that stays true.
Secure custody is daily work for us, not a one-time achievement.
That means 1:1 backing, >99% of funds in offline cold storage today, audited financials, key splits, no single points of failure and so much more.

Perpetual futures took center stage at FIA Expo.
@bilyevsky joined industry leaders to break down contract mechanics, surging demand, and what’s next for the asset class.
Key takeaways
→ Structural efficiency: With an automated funding rate mechanism and no expirations, perps eliminate traditional contract frictions.
→ Growing demand: Adoption is accelerating across retail and institutions for both hedging and efficient exposure.
→ The next evolution: Perps are expanding beyond crypto and transforming broader markets.
Single stock perps are coming soon to @Coinbase.
Falling into fall
→ Trading activity cooled in October as spot, perp, and term futures volumes all fell.
→ Options bucked the trend, with volume (+9%) and open interest (+10%) both rising.
→ But it appears that a good share of options activity was hedging, as BTC puts were priced above calls on all but one day.
→ Altcoin open-interest dominance fell from around 1.0 in early October to 0.76 by month end.
→ Bottom line: We think key support in BTC is $73-75K, where the 200-day moving average, the short-term holder cost basis, and the average cost basis of a prominent digital asset treasury company converge.

Stablecoins move money in seconds, but converting between stablecoins and fiat could take days. Until now.
Our partnership with @citi unlocks near-instant conversion between USDC and fiat.

Most institutions are still stitching together different venues, margin models, custody setups and risk systems.

Resistance Overhead
About 2.1M BTC, or roughly a tenth of total bitcoin supply, last moved between $87.5K and $91.7K.
Our takeaway: a climb toward that range could meet holders looking to sell at breakeven.
