US regulators just cleared the way for crypto perpetual futures — a super-popular trading product that until now was only available on offshore exchanges. Coinbase is among the first platforms approved to offer them in America.

## Idea

Perpetual futures are the most-traded crypto product worldwide, and they've been banned in the US until now. Coinbase getting first-mover approval means it can capture a huge chunk of this business domestically. This isn't a minor regulatory tweak — it's a brand-new revenue stream for the largest US crypto exchange. Traders who want exposure to crypto without holding coins directly often buy Coinbase stock, so new excitement around perps could pull fresh buyer interest into COIN shares.
