Odaily News: Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has announced the integration of perpetual futures via Hyperliquid into the Base App, allowing eligible users to trade with up to 50x leverage. The offering covers over 290 perpetual futures markets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, as well as tokenized stocks and commodities markets.
Coinbase Engineering Lead Chintan Turakhia stated that perpetual futures account for approximately 75% of current cryptocurrency trading volume, and were the most requested feature among highly active Base App users. Trading is executed by Hyperliquid, and users can access the functionality without leaving their existing wallets.
Coinbase noted that the product is not currently available in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and other jurisdictions that restrict leveraged crypto derivatives. Base previously shifted its focus from social features to trading, payments, and AI agents, with Base founder Jesse Pollak stating that prediction markets, perpetual futures, and stablecoins have become stronger adoption drivers.
