US just legalized crypto perps for the first time — long Coinbase as the biggest winner
The main US derivatives regulator just cleared the way for crypto perpetual futures — a hugely popular trading product — to be offered legally on American exchanges for the first time. Coinbase and Kalshi are the first platforms moving forward to offer them.
Idea
Perpetual futures are the most-traded crypto product globally, but until now they've only existed on offshore exchanges. Bringing them onshore to regulated US platforms like Coinbase unlocks a massive new revenue stream from trading fees. Coinbase is the largest publicly traded US crypto exchange and was specifically named in the CFTC's approval, giving it first-mover advantage. This is a structural, not cyclical, change to their business.
