Coinbase files for US stock perpetual futures, but CFTC approval remains pending

  • Filing submitted to CFTC; SEC published the notice on Sept. 18
  • Contracts are cash-settled with no expiry and no delivery of shares
  • Proposed trading week runs Sunday 8 p.m. to Friday 5 p.m. ET
  • Funding rate and interval would be set per product in an appendix
Why it matters: Approval would give US traders round-the-clock exposure to stocks and ETFs via a crypto exchange, intensifying competition with traditional brokers.
