The top U.S. derivatives regulator just gave the green light for crypto perpetual futures contracts to trade on American platforms for the first time. Coinbase and Kalshi are first in line to offer these products, which have until now only existed on offshore exchanges.

## Idea

Perpetual futures are the most popular crypto trading product worldwide, handling trillions in monthly volume. Until now, U.S. traders had to use offshore platforms to access them. Bringing this product onshore to regulated exchanges like Coinbase should meaningfully boost their trading revenue. This is a structural shift that analysts haven't fully priced in yet — the market is still digesting the news. Coinbase, as the first approved platform, gets a first-mover advantage.
