Odaily Planet Daily News Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has announced the integration of perpetual futures for the Base App via Hyperliquid, allowing eligible users to trade with up to 50x leverage. The product 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 are the most requested feature among highly active Base App users. Trades are executed by Hyperliquid, and users can access the feature without leaving their existing wallets.
Coinbase noted that the product is not yet available in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and other jurisdictions that restrict leveraged crypto derivatives. Base previously transitioned 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.
