Coinbase has begun rolling out crypto futures contracts to traders in Europe, marking the first time the exchange has offered such derivatives directly to users in the region, the company announced on Monday.
The products are available through Coinbase Advanced to eligible users in 26 countries, including Germany, France and the Netherlands, according to a statement.
The new product suite includes perpetual-style futures and dated contracts with monthly or quarterly expirations. The perpetual-style instruments carry five-year expiries and use an hourly funding mechanism designed to align contract prices with the underlying asset, the company said.
Dated contracts are marked to market daily and cash-settled at expiry if held to maturity. Traders can access leverage of up to 10x on select contracts, including bitcoin and ether, while other products offer leverage in the 4x to 5x range, according to the statement. The offering also includes products such as the “Mag7 + Crypto Equity Index Futures,” the company added.
Eligible Coinbase customers can access the derivatives through the Advanced platform by completing eligibility checks, including trading experience verification and know-your-customer requirements. Accounts can be funded using euros or the USDC stablecoin before initiating trades.
Daniel Seifert, Coinbase’s vice president and regional managing director for EMEA, and Vinayak Doraiswamy, head of product for Coinbase Financial Markets, framed the launch as part of the company’s push to build an “exchange for everything.”
The strategy extends beyond crypto. In recent months, Coinbase has added stock trading for U.S. users, launched prediction markets through a partnership with Kalshi, and introduced a tokenization road map called Coinbase Tokenize aimed at bringing traditional assets on-chain.
The exchange also applied for a national trust company charter with the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in October 2025 to expand custody, payments and related services.
