Coinbase said on Tuesday it will be launching futures trading for an index that combines exposure to both top stocks and crypto-based ETFs.
“We’re diversifying our US derivatives platform beyond single-asset offerings for the first time, launching a new equity index product,” the company said in a statement.
The new product, dubbed Mag7 + Crypto Equity Index Futures, gives traders a chance to trade an index combining top tech stocks with BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.
Besides the two ETFs, the index includes balanced exposure to Coinbase’s own shares in combination with Apple, Microsoft, Google’s parent company Alphabet, Amazon, Nvidia, Meta, and Tesla.
“The Index will follow an even-weighting methodology, with each of the 10 components representing 10% of the Index,” Coinbase said.
The cryptocurrency exchange’s move to increase trading activity comes after it reported a decline in spot trading volumes and revenue for the second quarter. Coinbase has both said it’s looking into expanding into prediction markets and launched a DEX integration that allows traders to buy and sell digital assets previously unavailable to them on the company’s platform.
Coinbase’s wish to entice users to try and earn returns by trading products connected to publicly-traded companies is part of a growing trend across the digital assets industry designed to engage with traditional finance and investors through tokenized equities or transforming publicly-listed companies into crypto treasuries.
Trading of Coinbase’s Mag7 + Crypto Equity Index Futures kicks off on Sept. 22.
