Coinbase has filed a registration request with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to list 24/7 stock perpetual futures contracts. Faryar Shirzad, the company’s Chief Policy Officer, confirmed the initiative and emphasized the goal of opening a formal, fully regulated pathway for U.S. retail investors to access these equity derivatives.
We're working to bring single stock perps to the US.
This week, we filed SEC-notice registrations for our derivatives exchange and broker.

This move marks a milestone in the convergence between digital assets and Wall Street. Perpetual contracts—popular in the crypto market for operating without expiration dates and supporting leverage—have predominantly remained on offshore platforms. Integrating major tech stocks under a supervised regulatory framework would not only expand institutional liquidity across the ecosystem, but also accelerate the shift toward continuous, uninterrupted stock trading.
To finalize the launch in the U.S. market, Coinbase will require approval from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). If granted joint regulatory clearance, the firm plans to formally roll out these derivative tools to retail traders before the end of the year.
