Coinbase applies to list perpetual futures contracts on individual US stocks.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Coinbase Global announced on September 18, 2026, that it has submitted an application to regulators seeking approval to list perpetual futures contracts (Perps) linked to large U.S. stocks. Perpetual futures are leveraged derivative contracts with no expiration date, allowing traders to amplify gains or losses through leverage. This move marks a further expansion by Coinbase into the traditional financial derivatives market.
