Coinbase rolls out regulated futures trading across 26 European countries with BTC, SOL and equity index contracts offering up to 10x leverage

Coinbase has launched regulated futures trading for European retail and professional clients across 26 countries, adding a new derivatives offering to its existing spot business in the region. The rollout includes futures on Bitcoin (BTC), Solana (SOL) and a new Mag7 + Crypto equity index contract, with some products offering up to 10x leverage and long-dated, “perpetual-style” contracts with five‑year expiries. According to Coinbase’s announcement, the products are offered under a MiFID II-regulated investment firm structure and are available through Coinbase Advanced, with eligibility and leverage limits varying by jurisdiction. The contracts are cash-settled and designed to give European traders tools for directional exposure, hedging and basis trading, similar to U.S. futures, but with smaller contract sizes and higher capital efficiency compared with trading the underlying assets directly. The Mag7 + Crypto index contract is marketed as a cross-asset product that tracks a basket of large-cap U.S. technology “Magnificent 7” stocks alongside major crypto ETF exposure, aiming to bridge traditional equity and digital asset markets within a single derivatives instrument. This launch expands Coinbase’s broader derivatives strategy, which already includes CFTC-regulated futures in the United States, and positions the exchange to compete more directly with offshore venues that dominate global crypto futures volume. By offering regulated, multi-asset futures with leverage in Europe, Coinbase is targeting both sophisticated retail and professional traders seeking onshore alternatives for margin trading and crypto-structured strategies as the EU’s regulatory framework for digital assets and investment services continues to mature.
