Coinbase said on August 11, 2026 that it is progressively opening more than 170 derivatives contracts to eligible professional clients in the UK, extending its Everything Exchange strategy with products spanning cryptocurrencies, commodities, equities and foreign exchange. The rollout includes 24/7 perpetual futures with up to 50x leverage, dated futures with up to 20x leverage and crypto options, including single-leg and multi-leg strategies, with access limited to clients who complete onboarding and qualify for professional status. The launch follows Coinbase's MiFID license and July 2026 UK investment-services authorization, which broadened the regulated products it can offer before the country's full crypto regime takes effect in October 2027. Retail customers remain shut out of the crypto-derivatives products under FCA rules, leaving Coinbase to target institutions seeking regulated tools for hedging, delta-neutral positioning and capital efficiency.
