Coinbase has unveiled an expansion of its crypto derivatives products with the addition of futures contracts for Solana and Hedera.
This launch, announced on Feb. 18, aims to deepen the company’s reach within the crypto derivatives space. The new contracts include Solana (SOL) Futures, with 100 SOL per contract, and nano Solana Futures, at 5 SOL per contract, designed to accommodate various types of traders.
Hedera (HBAR) Futures will be available at 5,000 HBAR per contract. The launch of these contracts is seen as a move to diversify and expand Coinbase’s futures market, providing users with more options for strategic trading.
Introducing EURC-USDC perpetual futures
Along with the futures contracts, Coinbase is introducing perpetual futures for EURC-USDC on its International Exchange, providing 24/7 access to Euro price exposure. These will be available with up to 20x leverage, enhancing capital efficiency for traders seeking flexibility in global markets.
With these additions, Coinbase now offers a total of 19 different futures contracts, including those for major assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin.
Institutional access and regulatory backing
The new futures contracts are backed by Coinbase’s regulatory approvals from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission. By adding Solana and Hedera futures to its platform, Coinbase strengthens its position as a leader in the evolving crypto derivatives market.
