Coinbase Blurs the Line Between Tech & Crypto Futures — And Ave.ai Is Ready

On September 22, 2025, Coinbase will roll out the Mag7 + Crypto Equity Index Futures, the first U.S.-listed product that combines top tech equities and crypto exposure in a single, cash-settled futures contract.

But as Coinbase pushes into multi-asset derivatives, Ave.ai — a leading Web3-native, AI-driven trading platform — is also planning to launch a futures product soon. And while the two approaches are different, the goals align: empower modern traders with smarter, more strategic instruments.

Coinbase’s Futures Product: Bridging TradFi and Crypto

Coinbase’s upcoming futures index will track a basket of 10 assets: Apple, Microsoft, Google (Alphabet), Amazon, Nvidia, Meta, Tesla, Coinbase (COIN), and two crypto ETFs — IBIT (Bitcoin) and ETHA (Ethereum) from BlackRock.

Each asset is equally weighted at 10%, and the index will be rebalanced quarterly to maintain this structure. The contracts are cash-settled, with a notional value that mirrors the index level. If the index hits $3,000, a contract is worth $3,000.

This launch signals a shift — tech and crypto no longer need to be traded separately. It reflects Coinbase’s broader goal of becoming an “everything exchange” for both traditional and digital assets.

Why It Matters to Traders

For active and institutional traders, this index future offers

  • Simplified exposure: Cover both equities and crypto in one trade
  • Cross-asset hedging: Streamline risk management
  • Capital-efficient: Trade smarter with fewer instruments

Ave.ai Is Planning Its Own Futures Product — Built for Web3

While Coinbase plays to Wall Street, Ave.ai is building for on-chain native traders. The team is planning to launch a futures product soon, designed from day one for speed, flexibility, and AI automation.

Ave.ai already offers a robust multi-platform experience — Web, Mobile App, and Telegram Sniper Bot — making it ideal for fast-moving traders across devices.

With real-time token discovery, smart money tracking, whale alerts, and sentiment analysis across 130+ blockchains and 300+ DEXs, it’s one of the most advanced toolkits available today.

Under the Hood: Ave Cloud & API 2.0

Behind the scenes, Ave.ai runs on its Ave Cloud infrastructure — equipped with Data API and Trading API to enable fast, secure, and customizable trading.

These APIs come with MEV protection, low gas strategies, and real-time data delivery — a perfect fit for automated futures workflows. For developers and advanced traders, this means you can script, deploy, and scale strategies across chains with ease.

This backend is what will power Ave.ai’s upcoming futures product, offering more than just access — it’s about building an edge.

Strategy Playbook: Coinbase vs. Ave.ai

Ave.ai’s futures product will focus on automated execution, on-chain intelligence, and user-defined logic — tools tailored to active traders and crypto-native power users.

Final Thoughts

Coinbase’s launch is a major milestone — the first time tech equities and crypto ETFs share a U.S.-listed futures contract. It’s a win for traditional finance and crypto convergence.

But Ave.ai is building something different — a multi-platform, AI-enhanced, and automation-ready futures product designed for the next generation of Web3 traders.
